Rhino doesn't support replaceAll on strings, so after upgrading select Templates > Validate from the Admin dashboard and modify the listed build.xml files to use replace(/[regex]/g, mystring) instead. For example change

project.setProperty("foldername", project.getProperty("ps-uploadFilenameNoExt").replaceAll(" ", "_").toLowerCase())

project.setProperty("foldername", name.replace(/ /g, "_").toLowerCase());
