We recently replaced our Windows based Jenkins master with a Linux (Debian 7) based master and since this time we are seeing repeated failures to archive the artefacts from the build jobs that runs on a Windows build slave. I can't see any existing issues which directly match this although there are some which look superficially similar.

I have the following from the build log but if there is more information I can gather about this issue please let me know (with instructions) as this is becoming a severe blocker to our build processes.
