Have you tried CTEST_CHECKOUT_COMMAND instead of CTEST_CVS_CHECKOUT
since you're not using CVS.

I'm not sure I understand your problem, but I've observed that if
CTEST_CHECKOUT_COMMAND is defined it will always be run before
CTEST_UPDATE_COMMAND. For me this leads to a spurious lack of updated
files: the checkout command updates my working copy so when the update
command runs, it doesn't find any new files.

Could this be related?
