After last update (not sure which one, everything worked last time on 4. nov 2016) pipeline job began to use local jenkins directory (c:/Users/jenkins/.jenkins) for workspaces completely ignoring settings set under: "Manage Jenkins / Worspace Root DIrectory" and "Manage Jenkins / Build Record Root Directory", which are configured as follow:

Workspace Root Directory = d:/jenkins/ws/$

{ITEM_FULLNAME}/work
Build Record Root Directory = d:/jenkins/ws/${ITEM_FULLNAME}

/builds
