Jenkins Git Release Failure

I'm trying to incorporate Jenkins Maven Release plugin with Git and the job is failing because it can't find the git executable.

My git repo is setup with ssh and I can execute the Git command on the Jenkins server. I can run a build using Jenkins and everything is pulled down from the Git repo successfully.

But when I try to do a release, Jenkins fails to find the git command. What am I doing wrong?

Jenkins Info:

Git Installed on the Windows server - 1.8.1.msysgit.1

Add the path to the git.cmd to the system PATH environment. Then restart Windows to take effect (restarting the Jenkins service alone is not enough).
