I don't think you want to use projectreference for this, msbuild treats those
items specially, instead have your item group use

<ItemGroup>
<ProjFile
Include="..\DataAccessLayer\DataAccessLayer1.csproj" />
<ProjFile Include=".\BusinessLayer\BusinessLayer1.csproj"
/>
<ProjFile Include="..\GUILayer\GUILayer1.csproj" />
<ProjFile
Include="..\SecurityProject\SecurityProject1.csproj" />
</ItemGroup>

and maybe include a Message task in your step to print out the value of
@(ProjFile) so you can make sure that your paths are correct.
