[#GRADLE-1222] Cannot authenticate on maven repository on Ubuntu server, with gradle.properties in {home}/.gradle directory.

We have five different build agents. Two Ubuntu, two Windows XP/7 and one MAC. We save our credentials for authenticating on our nexus server(maven repository) in the gradle.properties in the home directory on each build agent.

build.gradle for authenticating

    repositories {
        org.apache.ivy.util.url.CredentialsStore.INSTANCE.addCredentials(nexusAuthRealm, nexusAuthHost, nexusAuthUser, nexusAuthPassword);
        mavenRepo urls: nexusURL
    }

The credentials are replaced properly inside the build.gradle (checked with system outs) and on the windows and Mac agents it will authorize successfully. BUT:

On both ubuntu agents we get unresolved dependencies. It looks like it can't authorize on our nexus server (with correct credentials):

try to get credentials for: {realm}@{domain.com}

But when we put the gradle.properties file inside the project, not in the home directory, it runs flawlessly.
