You're absolutely right, Dave.  The hosting customer would need not only
access to CFExecute, but would also need to publish a mkwebdir.vbs or
similar script as this is NOT included in the Microsoft-provided
samples.

I suspect that any such custom VBS scripts could be run from the hosting
customer's own space, being that scripting permissions are already there
for the CF templates.  But, as we've both already suggested, this detail
SHOULD be moot.
