title: Failure to load server rules using Sonar Scanner
body: <p>I have an instance of SonarQube installed on a server of mine, and I am trying to run scans on Atlassian's Bamboo using the Sonar Scanner. When I attempt to run a scan the following error is thrown.</p>
  
  <p>I am using the following version:
  Bamboo: v6.6.1
  SonarQube: v6.5
  SonarScanner: 3.0.3.778</p>
  
  <p>An extra bit of detail is that this error did not start happening for all builds at a specific time. One day this error was only showing up every 3-4 builds, and you could rebuild the same code and it didn't show up. But over a period of two weeks it appeared more and more until now where it will not go away.</p>
