I copy my build tree without problems but I do this using cvs and I do
not have any of the generated files in the repository. So when I start
with a new sandbox I run cmake to generate the project files and all
is well.

If you are going to copy your tree I would recommend not copying any
generated files and run cmake again on your project in the new
location.
