Not used jenkins very much, but working with a docker slave job. I set up a docker cloud, and I deployed an image to it. When I kick off the jenkins job the image is pulled, and then I see this error. It appears that it's a fault of trying to run remoting-4.5.jar. Is there another way to see what is happening?

Not sure if you solved this or not, but we had the same issue and it turned out to be the "Remote File System Root" field being blank. We set it to the home directory of the user specified in the "Connect Method" ("Attach Docker container" for us) section (/home/jenkins in this case) and it was able to launch the agent.
                In my Dockerfile I had WORKDIR /home/jenkins and setting this field to /home/jenkins made it finally work. Thanks !
