Hi Mark

(with developers back in CC because I'm not a Cold Fusion guru)

Can you compare the actual HTTP requests and responses?
Using Firebug you can see what a successful query looks like in Firefox.
CF Server Monitor or Ethereal will let you see your unsuccessful CF query.

They should be going away sometime :-)

Good luck,
