I've added another comment, but I also just noticed that this branch attempts 
to fix the same thing, but adding the CMake rule somewhere else:

Thanks Dan. I understood that CMake is attempting to create a file where the 
directory should have been created, but I'm not sure I quite follow why. In 
particular, I can't quite follow this bit: "But the add_custom_target' run 
during the build so they were trying to copy [...]".

In any case, good point about removing L83 if it's doing the same. Althought I 
noticed that the way the command is run is different:

L53 -> file(MAKE_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/../${PLUGIN_DIR})
L83 -> COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E make_directory 
${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/../${PLUGIN_DIR}

The rest of the CMake file is using the COMMAND syntax. Would it not make sense 
to stick to that for consistency, or is there a compelling reason to use file()?
