Your session variable is a comma-delimited list, so use listContains to find out if a list element matched your FORM.redirect variable (ListContains value of what list element - the first instance - that matches)
Faking your code, here is how you can do it:
<cfset SESSION.Display = "D:\mywork\dir1,D:\documents\dir1,D:\mywork\dir2,D:\documents\dir2,D:\mywork\dir3,D:\mywork\dir4,D:\mywork\dir5,D:\documents\dir3">
<cfset FORM.redirect = "dir3">
<cfoutput>
<cfif listContainsNoCase(session.display, FORM.redirect)>
<cfset FORM.redirect = ListGetAt(session.display, listContainsNoCase(session.display, FORM.redirect))>
form.redirect = #FORM.redirect#
<cfelse>
NO match, so do something else...
</cfif>
</cfoutput>
Hope that helps...
