Works fine. Try to copy above exactly, maybe it is your /> at the tag ends.
Check the actual XML file, what is in it. Etc. Function works fine on CF6.1

Oops, wrong version of the function. Here is the right code:
<cffunction name="getNavigation2" access="remote" returntype="any"
output="false">
<cffile action="" file="D:\inetpub\wwwroot\ssoNavigation.xml"
variable="myString" />
<cfreturn toString(myString) />
</cffunction>
