Ok, Sean has diagnosed it, but now how do I correct it?

My server is indeed looking into the old document cfmx document root
(C:\CFusionMX\wwwroot) first, then looking into the new IIS
(c:\inetpub\wwwroot) document root.  I could fix my home page problem by
removing the errant index.cfm in the MX root, but this isn't a complete
solution.  I have a lot of file tags and functions (cffile, expandPath(),
ect.) and these are orientated on the wrong document root.

I need to know how to tell my server(s) to look at the root I want them too?
Can somebody direct my in the right direction to do this?

Interesting. Sounds like CFMX is finding an old document root ahead of
where you actually have this file. That can cause strange behavior
where CF tries to resolve /index.cfm against various document roots and
context roots and it will execute the first one it finds. It correctly
displays /areas.cfm because that doesn't exist in the 'other' document
root.

Right, that pretty much confirms my suspicion. Which directory has
/areas.cfm and the new /index.cfm and which one has the old /index.cfm
page?
