There's a couple of things that can cause issues with the class files. One of them is if a file name changes case. So, if you originally have "dump.cfm" and then it gets changed to "DUMP.CFM" it can cause CFMX to not recognize that the class file already exists and it will try to write out a new class file with different case. If you're on a windows system (not case sensitive) then it sees the two files as having the same name and throws an error (file already exists).
I really just did it on my systems as a precautionary measure. Really, the updater should do it for you, but hey, there's a lot of things the updater should do---having to choose the location of your cfmx installation and cfide directory is silly.
