OK, here's the reason - session variables are stored by using cookies or URL
variables to tag the user - when you use CFLocation, the browser isn't sent
the cookie or URL variables, and thus they are lost
Either don't do a CFLocation and call the real template just below or use
JavaScript and a hyperlink to skip to the next page
Or, why not set the Session variables in Application.cfm if they don't
exist?
