site-assembly.zip is what you get when you use the deprecated Tycho type 
"eclipse-update-site". repository.zip is what you get when you use the 
"eclipse-repository" packaging type. It's better to have repository.zip.
You should update your scripts and Switchyard stuff to use 
"eclipse-repository" and repository.zip.

Do you really need this script? If all you need is to publish the update 
site, simply use a scp or a rsync command. Target destination would be 
something like filemgmt.jboss.org:downloads_htdocs/fuse/...
Later, you can change your mind if you have a good reason to use this 
specific script.

I would say that you don't need another job to publish. It's easier to 
do it as part of you build job.
Later, you can change your mind if you have a good reason to have 
another job.
