Is the new location under the same hostname (such as "www.mydomain.com") or
are you switching domains? Like Phillip said, sessions are generally cookie
based. If you move to a new host, the cookie can't be retrieved and you
lose access to your old session variables.
If you only need to pass some values to the new page, you can do that within
the URL in a cflocation tag.
<cflocation url="www.somedomain.com?somevar=34&another=John%20Smith">
