This is completely unnecessary. Just use message:

message(STATUS "Copying test into build directory")
execute_process(COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E copy_directory ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/test ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/test)

The reason add_custom_command has a COMMENT option is because that doesn't run the command but instead adds it to the generated build system, and the project files have a spot for a comment.
