So, I downloaded qpid sources.  I think the main problem you are having 
is because with the old declarative style scripts if you do a -D Nightly 
it will require a successful configure to already have been run on the 
tree.

I would suggest using the new style ctest scripts.  Here is a sample:

set (CTEST_SOURCE_DIRECTORY c:/hoffman/Projects/qpid/qpid/cpp)
set (CTEST_BINARY_DIRECTORY c:/hoffman/Projects/qpid/qpid/cpp/rhel5)
SET(CTEST_CMAKE_GENERATOR "Unix Makefiles")
SET(CTEST_BUILD_COMMAND make)

CTEST_START("Experimental")
CTEST_CONFIGURE(BUILD "${CTEST_BINARY_DIRECTORY}")
CTEST_BUILD(BUILD "${CTEST_BINARY_DIRECTORY}")
CTEST_TEST(BUILD "${CTEST_BINARY_DIRECTORY}")
CTEST_SUBMIT()


I had to put a CTestConfig.cmake with the following in it:
set(CTEST_PROJECT_NAME "Qpid")
set(CTEST_NIGHTLY_START_TIME "00:00:00 EST")
set(CTEST_DROP_METHOD "http")
set(CTEST_DROP_SITE "www.riverace.com")
set(CTEST_DROP_LOCATION "/CDash-1.4.2/submit.php?project=Qpid")
set(CTEST_DROP_SITE_CDASH TRUE)

in c:/hoffman/Projects/qpid/qpid/cpp/CTestConfig.cmake.

Also, note for 1 day you will have to do Experimentals, because if you 
do a nightly the update will remove the CTestConfig.cmake or not check 
it out in the first place.

I did submit some experimentals but the Qpid dashboard here : 
http://www.riverace.com/CDash-1.4.2/index.php is not public so I can not 
see them.
