So, I did a quick test, and while I didn't get an error, the use of x
inside the loop confuses the loop counter and the loop runs once, not
twice.

<cfset descriptlistarray = arrayNew(1)>
<cfset descriptlistarray[1] = "f,g,a,a,a">
<cfset descriptlistarray[1] = "z,g,a,a,a">

<cfset ret = structNew()>
<cfset ret.cleanedstring ="">
<cfloop from="1" to="#arraylen(descriptlistArray)#"  index="x">
          <!--- convert the form element descript to an array --->
          <cfset x=listtoarray(descriptlistArray[x])>

          <!--- more code here --->
                        <cfoutput>x5 = #x[5]#</cfoutput>
          <cfset ret.cleanedstring=listappend(ret.cleanedstring,x[5])>
 </cfloop>

So, like I said, the main thing you want to do is change to a new
variable inside the loop AND make sure that descriptlist[x] is a list w/
at least 5 members.
