Remove the '"' around the list of headers in your install command:

INSTALL(FILES ${MY_INCLUDES_H} ...

instead of 

INSTALL(FILES "${MY_INCLUDES_H}" ...

The quotes result in the list to be expanded in only one long string instead of a list of strings. CMake thinks you are only installing one file with a veeeery long name.
