Unable to sync source code using the perforce plugin for Jenkins

I am trying to sync my source code from perforce, using the perforce plugin of Jenkins and it fails, here is the console output:

I have attached the screen shot of my job. Could anybody let me know what might be the problem? Is it a problem with my user? When i try to create a new workspace and sync the latest code using the perforce view client, with the same user, it works fine.

The error message:

//Perforce-Test/...@3691663 - protected namespace - access denied.

indicates that you do not have permission to the files that you are trying to sync. If the username you're using is "anonymous" as the output suggests, check the protection table to see whether that user has permission to the files you're trying to sync (and if there are IP-based protections, check them against the build machine's IP).

If you're not sure which Perforce username this job is running as, a quick way to test might be to delete the "Perforce-Test" client, since it looks like the plugin will recreate it (at which point the username will show up in the Owner field of the client). You could also check the Perforce server's log to see which user was running those commands.
