If I recall correctly, the CFCONTENT tag is run by the ISAPI extension that connects to CF, rather than by CF itself. That ISAPI extension runs within the IIS process, and uses whatever rights that process has, which typically will match the rights of the anonymous user (IUSR_MACHINENAME). So, I suspect that you'll have to allow that user rights to the network share containing the file.
