Timo, when I looked into this before posting my question, it seemed to be a pretty clear issue with the perl command not working on the Windows filesystem. Per my recent reply to Wolfgang, I have moved forward with a simple work-around (which simply does not involve running ctest on the Windows file system). I imagine at some point in the not-so-distant future I'll be interested in fixing this. Of course please do let me know if you're interested and want to to reproduce the log for the group's purposes.
Thanks.
