WebSphere 8.5, Why AdminApp returns "exception information: websphere.management.application.client.AppDeploymentException"

Question

I have a very simply Jython script over Unix. It was working perfectly during WebSphere 7 and now, after we upgraded to WAS 8.5 it isn't working anymore. Obviously, I changed the path to point to WAS8.5. I spent the whole day struglling to find the reason for this falling and I am completely stuck. The exception descrition doesn't help much.

From a JCL JOB I call the Jython script. /WebSphere/was85/dtl85cel/ledm85nd/DeploymentManager/profiles/default/bin/wsadmin.sh -lang jython -f /WebSphereDevelopment/scripts/dtl/WAS85/Install.jy

The Jython script is really simple. Basically, I call AdminApp.install("myEAR path", ...with the options below:

-nopreCompileJSPs -installed.ear.destination /WebSphereDevelopment/MYAPP/dtl/curr/deployment/ -distributeApp -nouseMetaDataFromBinary -nodeployejb -appname DVL-MYAPP -createMBeansForResources -noreloadEnabled -nodeployws -validateinstall warn -processEmbeddedConfig -filepermission ..dll=755#. .so=755#..a=755#.*.sl=755 -noallowDispatchRemoteInclude -noallowServiceRemoteInclude -asyncRequestDispatchType DISABLED -nouseAutoLink -contextroot / -MapModulesToServers ÝÝ MyApp MyApp.war,WEB-INF/web.xml WebSphere:cell=dtl85cel,node=wleMyAppa,server=WLEMYAPP¨¨ )

The error log is:

WASX7017E: Exception received while running file "/WebSphereDevelopment/scripts dtl/MYAPP/MYAPP_DTL_DEPLOY.jy"; exception information: com.ibm.websphere.management.application.client.AppDeploymentException: com.ibm.websphere.management.appliccation.client.AppDeploymentException: ÝRoot exception is java.lang.RuntimeException: Deploying /WebSphere/was85/dtl85cel/ledm85nd/DeploymentManager/profiles/d java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.RuntimeException: Deploying /WebSphere/wa s85/dtl85cel/ledm85nd/DeploymentManager/profiles/default/temp/app69105293327198772690.ear failed.
