      The communicates being thrown in the console at the top of every build are kind of:

      an then everything is getting normal and build is finished as success.

          What is "Oracle IRE"? What version? Where is other info?
          "jenkins acces through localhost:8080" is irrelevant info.

          What kind of volume is mounted at T:?

          Note that Jenkins creates symbolic links in its home directory for various reasons, and that should therefore be stored on a volume that supports symbolic links.

          Also, the user Jenkins runs as needs to have permission to create symbolic links – AFAIR, Windows allows disabling that e.g. in Group Policy. The corresponding command line utility (to possibly get more information why creation fails) is mklink.

          I'm planning to fix it by myself. But I hope, I could catch some information or advises.

          T volume is TrueCrypt volume. Crypted by AES. I have all administration rights on it and all privileges on it.

          Kanstantsin: IRE 6

          That's just the container. What file system?

          JRE maybe? Otherwise, please provide some reference what IRE is.

          File system? FAT.
          And excuse me for typo, big mistake.

          FAT does not support symbolic links. Use NTFS.

          Given the rarity of FAT in 2014 (not counting USB thumb drives), I think this can be safely ignored.

          Another possible option would be to try setting the system property hudson.Util.noSymLink to true. But getting rid of FAT is a good idea anyway...
