It appears to have worked correctly when i used the verbose output option for knife solo:

Try running chef with `-l debug` for more verbose output about the error. There are some changes to the jenkins cookbook that will make errors like this more informative, there should be a new release pretty soon.

I thought maybe it's an issue with the `'hostname` which doesn't resolve, but I tried changing it to the ip address and it still doesn't work.

Not sure why I can't call this jenkins_cli command (it's literally from the sample code on github. Could it be authentication related?
In my cookbook: recipes/jenkins.rb
include_recipe "jenkins"
%w{ git github }.each do |plugin|
jenkins_cli "install-plugin #{plugin}"
jenkins_cli "safe-restart"
end
