I'm no help on the dojo build. I tried getting it set up, but after a few tries I just went back r.js.With a fold structure like this.
release/
src/
- index.html
- js/
- stylesheets/
- templates/
I have a documented app.build.js file looks like this.
/**
* This is the build file I have started using
* to build my ArcGIS JS API 3.0 apps, which are
* based on Dojo 1.7. I used a similar build file
* when I was using Require.js, so it wasn't much different.
*
* I tried using the Dojo Build Tools, but it just seemed
* way too bloated to download the Dojo SDK, sort my files,
* blah blah blah. With r.js I can use Node NPM to
* npm install requirejs and just use the following command
* r.js -o src/js/app.build.js
* Done and done!
*
* This build file is meant to be used with r.js
* http://requirejs.org/docs/optimization.html
*
* For more details on options, you can review
* the sample r.js build file
* https://github.com/jrburke/r.js/blob/master/build/example.build.js

Hope that helps.
