You are mixing old and new style scripts.  CTEST_CONTINUOUS_DURATION is 
not used in the new style scripts.  Instead, you use while, something 
like this:

while (${CTEST_ELAPSED_TIME} LESS 36000)
     set (START_TIME ${CTEST_ELAPSED_TIME})
   ctest_start (Continuous)
    ....
    ctest_sleep( ${START_TIME} 300 ${CTEST_ELAPSED_TIME})
endwhile()
