During CI - No such file or directory - var/jenkins/jobs/ruby/config.xml

When the jenkins.rb feature suite runs in CI (both http://ec2-184-73-167-68.compute-1.amazonaws.com/job/jenkins.rb/4/console & http://jenkins.thefrontside.net/job/jenkins.rb/35/console) the features/manage_jobs.feature:47 feature fails with:

 No such file or directory - /data/jenkins-ci/jobs/jenkins.rb/workspace/var/jenkins/jobs/ruby/config.xml (Errno::ENOENT)
      ./features/step_definitions/jenkins_steps.rb:106:in `read'
      ./features/step_definitions/jenkins_steps.rb:106:in `/^the job "([^"]*)" config "([^"]*)" should be:$/'
      features/manage_jobs.feature:52:in `And the job "ruby" config "scm" should be:'

When the same scenario is run directly within a console on the CI server it works:

$ bundle exec rake jenkins:server:test &
$ bundle exec cucumber features/manage_jobs.feature:47

All the features pass inside the console if bundle exec rake is run directly. Not sure why this is failing when invoked from within Jenkins.

What is the current directory when executing from jenkins?

When I run it manually I run it from /data/jenkins-ci/jobs/jenkins.rb/workspace. I'm not sure what Jenkins is doing when it runs "bundle exec rake" itself.
