Paul: It might help to take a step back and determine how people will come to this page in the first place. perhaps you can use the same mechanism that provides the link to this page to determine the previous/next pages.
Do these files have entries in a database? You could then use some sort of query to determine previous/next (although this may be more intensive than using CFDIRECTORY). Do you ever add new files? If not, consider hard coding the references to previous/next files. Are the files/pages heavily traversed? If so, it may make sense to cache the whole directory listing in the APPLICATION scope and read from the cache to dynamically create the previous/next links at each page request.
