The problem was with the folder name `iText%207%20.NET`, which is an
urlencoded version of `iText 7 .NET`. Apparently Jenkins can't handle
urlencoded spaces in folder names.
I renamed the folder to `itext_7_dotnet` and then used
build job: "itext_7_dotnet/sharpen/${java.net.URLEncoder.encode
branchName, 'UTF-8'}"
This works.
Moral of the story: never use spaces in your folder names!
