Is this running on windows ? or on remote ? i am not sure it says Building on master in workspace /Users/sjayagop/.jenkins/workspace/test_genscript but then your Temp folder structure looks non windowee /var/folders/bc/l10_249126g1thr9hhsv2wj4000fnq/T/

The issues seems to be stemming from the fact that matlabrc shouldn't be overridden. It seems overriding that file messes with MATLAB initialization. I'd suggest you remove matalbrc from your repo.
