Sorry all, I found my mistake. Essentially in the 'ctest -S script' I
moved all CTestTestfile.cmake to a binary directory using
configure_file() instead of file(COPY .. DESTINATION ..). The
configure_file evaluates all ${}, so the ${MESSAGE} was replaced by
nothing since the variable MESSAGE was not defined in the ctest script.

To explain I attach a minimal example. If you just type 'ctest' in the
folder you will see 'Hello World', but if you instead do 'ctest -S
run.cmake' you will only see 'Hello'.

Me being stupid here.. Thanks to everyone that tried to help!

Cheers,
Yngve
