You were almost there this is:

make package_source

> SET(CPACK_IGNORE_FILES "/i386/;/x64/;/VS2008/;/zRel/;/Build/;/\\\\.git/;\\\\.*project")
> SET(CPACK_SOURCE_IGNORE_FILES "/i386/;/x64/;/VS2008/;/zRel/;/Build/;/\\\\.git/;\\\\.*project")

the appropriate syntax is:

cpack -G TGZ --config CPackSourceConfig.cmake

-C is the "Specify the project configuration" which
is "the configuration that the project was build with, for example
'Debug', 'Release'."

see:
http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v2.8.8/cpack.html#opt:-CConfiguration
