Henry - Based on your responses to some of our questions I would strongly recommend that you wrangle a couple minutes from one of your IT guys to review your CF code for security concerns. Any time you run an executable on a server driven by a public web page you create all kinds of potential security issues. For example allowing the user to determine the filename may allow a nefarious user to overwrite files on your server.
