TeamCity could not get sources by using ClearCase as version control

Hello,

For our project team we are looking for a CI enviroment and teamcity got our attention. We have got the following error if we run the build agent :

: Could not get project sources: for build #14
: jetbrains.buildServer.vcs.VcsException: Getting sources for checkout rule '.=>.' failed with erorr: java.io.IOException:
jetbrains.buildServer.vcs.VcsException: Getting sources for checkout rule '.=>.' failed with erorr: java.io.IOException: ...rest of the exception.
: Could not get project sources
: Error while applying patch: Getting sources for checkout rule '.=>.' failed with erorr: java.io.IOException:

We don't know why this error occurs. If we test the connection from with the "Test connection" button it says the connection is fine so the problem must be elsewhere.

Here is what we've got:

1. Installed TeamCity 3.1 on D:\TeamCity on WinXP

2. Changed the accounts which the services TeamCity Webserver and TeamCity Build Agent Services runs to the user whove got rights to the ClearCase view/vob.

3. Created a View with the ClearCase explorer onto D:\AOS_TEAMCITY2\VS2008FINALTEST

4. Opened the TeamCity Web en create a new build configuration.

I pasted a few off the I think important screens in.

-SCREEN--Edit VCS Root

VCS root name: testconn

Type of VCS : ClearCase

ClearCase Settings

View path : D:\AOS_TEAMCITY2\VS2008FINALTEST
Use ClearCase : BASE

Changes Checking Interval

Checking interval: use global server setting (60 seconds)

I tested the connection an no errors came up!

-SCREEN--Version Control Settings

Checkout Settings

VCS checkout mode : Automatically on server
Checkout directory : D:\CHECKOUTS
Clean all files before build: Yes

VCS Labeling

VCS labeling mode: Do not label

Choose VCS roots to label: testconn

--SCREEN-BUILD-RUNNER

Build RunnerBuild runner: sln2008
Solution file path: \AOS.sln
Working directory: Targets: Build Configuration: Debug Platform: ]]>

5. Saved all and run the build.

result:

Does anybody know what we do wrong?
