ctest might expect to find CTestConfig.cmake relative to your current
binary directory rather than relative to your working directory. Maybe
try fixing up your --ctest-config path or using an absolute path to your
CTestConfig?

Dart is the ancestor of CDash. CMake still writes out a
DartConfiguration.tcl in every binary directory where include(CTest) has
been run.

So actually, make sure you are doing include(CTest) in your CMakeLists.
Maybe this will fix your first problem as well?
