When we implemented branch coverage in CDash, we made the design decision
to let CDash handle the parsing. Previously coverage data was parsed by
CTest (generating Coverage.xml and CoverageLog.xml) and then uploaded to
CDash. With this new approach we now upload the .gcov files directly to
CDash and parse them server-side instead.

As to why this isn't working for you, I'm not sure. Do you see the uploaded
gcov.tar file in your backup/ directory on the CDash server?
