"Permission denied" Error during calling omake in Jenkins

Question

The situation is, the batch command file containing execution with omake.exe is located in an clearcase view. Calling this bat file from dos command window works quite fine, but if I call the same bat file from Jenkins job, I get following error message:

Started by user XXXXXXX
[EnvInject] - Loading node environment variables.
Building in workspace C:\app\tools\Jenkins\jobs\workspace
[workspace] $ cmd /c call C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\hudson7938450600036163921.bat

C:\app\tools\Jenkins\jobs\workspace>cleartool startview Z000000_Latest 

C:\app\tools\Jenkins\jobs\workspace>subst Y: X:\Z000000_Latest 

C:\app\tools\Jenkins\jobs\workspace>cd /d "Y:\prj_cfg" 

Y:\prj_cfg>omake Y:\source\sw\sw_main.cpp 
omake: Error: Unable to start build session for view "Z000000_Latest" - Permission denied
omake: command line: Unable to get bldcm session handle
. Stop.

Y:\prj_cfg>exit 1 
Build step 'Execute Windows batch command' marked build as failure

Any one has an idea? Thanks

The main reason for a difference between a failed Jenkins job and a successful batch session is the environment variable (not to mention the user might be different).

For instance, the CLEARCASE_PRIMARY_GROUP environment variable might be different (or not set at all) in the Jenkins job session, as opposed to the batch session.
Compare the result of the 'set' command in both cases to sport the differences and test which one might matter.
