Try running on the package goal instead, the test phase doesn't require the code to be packaged and thus isn't creating the folder structure you are looking for.

I don't know of any other way to get css, js fixes immediately out to customers without the renaming(in fact, I doubt a better solution exists here as this solution has worked great for our last 4 releases but I am open to ideas). As far as ${project.build.outputDirectory}, I did try that but that seems to deal with the target/classes directory which then goes to WEB-INF/classes when packaging a war file. I need the files in the base level of the war(and the property below references that correctly, BUT the directory doesn't exist yet). The only solution I am aware of for css, js, jpg fixes to go out in a new release is to rename the path to the file(or the file itself) as it is a very easy solution in build tools typically(at least it was in ant).
