Here is the solution that I ended up using and it works really good ...
(good code re-use too!)
<!--- First lets check to see if the customer is logged in --->
<cfif cookie.customerAuthorized Neq 1>
<!--- Redirect to login page --->
<cfset variables.location = "#cgi.script_name#?#cgi.query_string#">
<cflocation
url="#request.urlRoot##request.relativePath#site/customer_login.cfm?location
=#URLEncodedFormat(variables.location)#" addtoken="no">
</cfif>
Page code here ....
Works great everytime!!
Thanks for the suggestions, I was following this path, just didn't know if
there was a better way that someone else had stumbled on!
