Steve, I am presuming your problem is a permissions issue as I'm beginning to see a pattern with cf on linux where non-logged errors i.e. nothing happening and no errors being returned, is caused by permissions. Might be useful if MM could trap these errors and return at least a generic error message to help us identify the problem.
As a quick test to verify my theory you should chown the directory to belong to the coldfusion user, which is also the apache user by default.

(sorry the lights arent switched on for the linux part of my brain yet) Can anyone shed some light on this?
