Cannot use Workspace PVC (java.io.IOException: Remote call on JNLP4-connect connection from)

I am running jenkins i AKS kubernetes (k8s version 1.22). I have the below jenkinsfile:

podTemplate(label: 'builder',
            containers: [
              containerTemplate(
                name: 'jnlp', 
                image: 'jenkins/inbound-agent:4.11-1', 
                args: '${computer.jnlpmac} ${computer.name}'
              containerTemplate(name: 'gradle',
                image: 'gradle:jdk11', 
                command: 'cat', 
                ttyEnabled: true
            ],
            volumes: [
              hostPathVolume(hostPath: '/var/run/containerd/containerd.sock', mountPath: '/var/run/containerd/containerd.sock')
            ],
              workspaceVolume: persistentVolumeClaimWorkspaceVolume(claimName: 'my-workspace-pvc', readOnly: false)
            ) {

        node('builder') {

            stage('Checkout') {
                checkout scm
            }

            stage('Gradle build') {
              container('gradle') {
                sh "./gradlew clean build --info"
              }
            }
        }
    }

Where I am trying to use the below PVC as the workspace volume:

$ kubectl get pvc
NAME                     STATUS   VOLUME                                     CAPACITY   ACCESS MODES   STORAGECLASS            AGE
my-workspace-pvc              Bound    pvc-d58bc5ab-82a0-4cd1-97d8-fcae0bc09bc9   20Gi       RWX            azurefile-csi-premium   2d18h

But when I run that pipeline I get the following error:
