Looks like it is picking up the VS 8 instead of 9 for some reason...  Do 
you have 8 in your PATH?   The find does this:

Modules/CMakeVS9FindMake.cmake:

FIND_PROGRAM(CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM
   NAMES ${_CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM_NAMES}
   HINTS
 
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\VisualStudio\\9.0\\Setup\\VS;EnvironmentDirectory]
 
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\VisualStudio\\9.0\\Setup;Dbghelp_path]
   "$ENV{ProgramFiles}/Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0/Common7/IDE"
   "$ENV{ProgramFiles}/Microsoft Visual Studio9.0/Common7/IDE"
   "$ENV{ProgramFiles}/Microsoft Visual Studio 9/Common7/IDE"
   "$ENV{ProgramFiles}/Microsoft Visual Studio9/Common7/IDE"
   "$ENV{ProgramFiles} (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0/Common7/IDE"
   "$ENV{ProgramFiles} (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio9.0/Common7/IDE"
   "$ENV{ProgramFiles} (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 9/Common7/IDE"
   "$ENV{ProgramFiles} (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio9/Common7/IDE"
   "/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0/Common7/IDE/"
   "/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio 9/Common7/IDE/"
   PATHS
   "$ENV{ProgramFiles} (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio .NET/Common7/IDE"
   "$ENV{ProgramFiles}/Microsoft Visual Studio .NET/Common7/IDE"

   )

Do you have different registry entries?  If you hack the above file in 
your CMake to point directly at the right dir for your install does it work?

Note, you will have to start with a new build directory to test changes 
with this file.
