Have you set the permissions on the CFMX ISAPI extension to allow
read/execute by Authenticated Users? You can find the path of the ISAPI
extension by looking in the IIS management console by going to the Home
Directory tab for your site, clicking on the Configuration button at the
bottom of the tab dialog, then finding the ISAPI DLL that .cfm is mapped to.
