$ cmake --help-module FindBoost
...

    Currently this module searches for the following version numbers:
       1.33, 1.33.0, 1.33.1, 1.34, 1.34.0, 1.34.1, 1.35, 1.35.0, 1.35.1,
       1.36, 1.36.0, 1.36.1, 1.37, 1.37.0, 1.38, 1.38.0, 1.39, 1.39.0, 1.40,
       1.40.0
...
     These last three variables are available also as environment
       variables:

          BOOST_ROOT or BOOSTROOT      The preferred installation
prefix for searching for
                                       Boost.  Set this if the module
has problems finding
                                       the proper Boost installation.

...


what this means is that 1.41 is not a 'known' version. Either get
FindBoost from CMake CVS or use BOOST_ROOT.
