You have it a little flip-flopped.
To make variables available to the custom tag, pass them as attributes of
the custom tag. The caller scope is used inside of the custom tag to pass
any values back to the calling page. Then those variables are available as
local (Variables) scope variables.
For example, the below example would output "value2"
<!---your calling page--->
<cf_yourcustomtag variable1="somevalue">
<cfoutput>
#testvar#
</cfoutput>
<!---your custom tag --->
<cfset caller.testvar = "value2">
<cfset testvar = "value1">
