In CF5, The FILTER parameter is for a wildcard file extension, like "*.cfm", and only a single extension can be used.  I don't think this has changed in CFMX.

Subject: Number of files in a directory

If I'm right, then this code snippet..
=================================================
<cfdirectory directory="#pDir1#" action="" name="daList" sort="name"
filter="les*">
<cfset p = "#daList.RecordCount#">
=================================================

would return to p the number of files in the directory pDir1 where the
filenames start with the characters "les".

Obviously, though, I'm not right, because p never gets a value other than 0.

What am I doing wrong?
