This not a response to your actual problem but just a remark. IMHO you cannnot achieve what you are trying to do. This is due to a behaviour of jBPM not deleting tasks in case of a timeout. When your transition "to timeout" fires execution of the process moves on to the next activity. Since this is a timer event it's a new execution started by the JobExecutor. When the execution of the proces then moves on the task again a new task is created. The old task will still be in the task list but you won't neither be able to complete it nor to delete it because the associated execution was already deleted.
 
Take a look at this issue for a good description: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBPM-2559
The issue is duplicated by: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBPM-2537 It's still unsolved but it's scheduled for jBPM 4.4.
 
P.S.: Please consider voting for the issue!
