Maven Release Plugin Fatal Error

[Anthony Cunningham <an...@gmail.com>]

I'm trying to use the release plugin with my Maven build. Currently when I
execute the command mvn release:prepare -DdryRun=true I get the following
error:

C:\workspace\myclient_pin_mailer\myclient_pin_encryptor>*mvn release:prepare

As you can see from the output for some reason it concatenates the workspace
path and the local repository path and decides that they are not valid. Does
anyone know what's going wrong here?
