The CMake 2.4.2 docs specify:

STRING(REPLACE <match_expression>
<replace_expression> <output variable>
<input> [<input>...])

<match_expression> is not defined elsewhere in the document. I presume it is somehow different than a <regular_expression>. It appears that a <match_expression> of "@VARIABLE_NAME@" will not match anything in a file. Is this expected behavior or a bug? If it's expected behavior, it should be documented.
[snip]
STRING(REPLACE "@INSTALL_HOME@" "${INSTALL_HOME}" input "${input}")

The @INSTALL_HOME@ text is being treated as a variable reference, so the STRING command gets the value of the INSTALL_HOME variable as the match expression. Try this:

SET(AT "@")
STRING(REPLACE "${AT}INSTALL_HOME${AT}" "${INSTALL_HOME}" input "${input}")
