Yeah, the default checkout is definitely the problem, even though it's "lightweight", it isn't. When I then perform a chekout step, once complete the default checkout reverts the directory and it then becomes "lightweight", so only the Jenkinsfiles remain and the source I'm trying to build evaporates.
I added the skipDefaultCheckout() directive (thanks for that, Andrew, I didn't know it existed) but now the manual checkout step fails because it is in a seperate file. If I move the checkout into the primary Jenkinsfile it works, I can live with that for now, albeit a little bit annoying because the checkout is common. The other option that works is to completely remove the call to checkout because it does a full checkout by default. Either way, the default checkout seems to be the cause of my headaches and I now know how to get around it, thanks.
