Actually you also need the extension of the source file (".dll" for WIN32 
for example).
This extension is stored in the CMAKE_SHLIB_SUFFIX variable.

Which leads us:

   ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND(
         SOURCE vtkXY
         COMMAND ${CCOMMAND_COMMAND}
         ARGS copy
         ${EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH}/${CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR}/${MY_LIB_NAME}${CMAKE_SHLIB_SUFFIX}
         ${EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH}/${CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR}/vtkXY.pvm
         TARGET vtkXY )

You will need today's CVS version of CMake to achieve that result when 
CMake works in .NET or MSDEV mode. Borland and Nmake mode are fine already.

The cmSystemTools::cmCopyFile() function has been upgraded.
   - the second arg can be a directory (the name of the source file will be 
appended to it)
   - the destination directory is created (as well as any other 
intermediate directory)

ccommand usage is now:

CMake Error: cmake version 1.3
Usage: ccommand [command] [arguments ...]
Available commands:
   copy file destination  - copy file to destination (either file or directory)
   remove file1 file2 ... - remove the file(s)
