the release manager plugin does not expand variables.

If the job configuration uses "${BUILD_ID}" in local module directory attribute, the checkout is done into "../workspace/${BUILD_ID}" instead of resolving the current build id (should be something like: "../workspace/123").

The Subversion plugin did have the same bug in older versions. Please see "JENKINS-4547 / Subversion checkout directory does not expand variables" for more information.

The usage of variables is very essential. A fix would be very appreciated.
