Trouble with Jenkins and Git

Right now I'm trying to pull a repository from bitbucket with the Git plugin, and build it within jenkins. However, whenever I do this, I get:

FATAL: Could not checkout null with start point <Starting Point>
hudson.plugins.git.GitException: Could not checkout null with start point <Starting Point>

Caused by: hudson.plugins.git.GitException: Command "git checkout -f <Starting Point>" returned status code 1:
stdout: 
stderr: error: unable to unlink old <File> (Permission denied)
error: unable to unlink old <File> (Permission denied)
error: unable to unlink old <File> (Permission denied)
error: unable to unlink old <File> (Permission denied)
error: unable to create file <File> (Permission denied)
error: unable to unlink old <File> (Permission denied)

I've tried manually deleting the files under the non-jenkins user in OSX, and it works, but then it will be unable to create a file.

EDIT: I actually fixed the problem by adding an "Execute shell command" step, and inserting "Git pull ", rather than using the Git plugin.

The Starting Point parameter needs to be defined

Try this instead:

git checkout -f HEAD
