The ctest that comes with CMake 2.0 and earlier does not pay attention 
to the -C flag when using the -D flag.  The -C flag is only used with 
the -I flag.  For -D the configuration with which CMake itself was built 
(release in your case) is used.

This has been fixed in CMake 2.2.  You should be able to run

   "${MYCMAKE} -DBUILDNAME:STRING=mybuild-rel .
   "${MYCTEST} -D NightlyStart"
   "${MYCTEST} -D NightlyUpdate"
   "${MYCTEST} -D NightlyConfigure"
   "${MYCTEST} -C Release -D NightlyBuild"
   "${MYCTEST} -C Release -D NightlyTest"
   "${MYCTEST} -D NightlySubmit"

   "${MYCMAKE} -DBUILDNAME:STRING=mybuild-dbg .
   "${MYCTEST} -D NightlyStart"
   "${MYCTEST} -D NightlyConfigure"
   "${MYCTEST} -C Debug -D NightlyBuild"
   "${MYCTEST} -C Debug -D NightlyTest"
   "${MYCTEST} -D NightlySubmit"

to get what you want but I have not tested it.
