The ArtifactItem construct is only used for copy/unpack not copy-dependencies/unpack-dependencies.
More likely is that you are running this from the command line like mvn dependency:copy-dependencies and it's not configured that way. If you want it to work from the command line, don't put it inside an executions block.
