CF_TEMPLATE_PATH is only going to give you the top-level page, not the page calling the UDF (unless, of course, they're the same). If you only need the directory of the top-level template, you can use expandPath. If you need to know the path of an arbitrary template calling your UDF, the only way that I know of to get it form code is to throw an exception, catch it, and look at the tag context to see where you're at. I'd imagine you can get this info from the CF services (probably the debugging service) as well, but don't know for sure, and there's obviously no version stability with that approach.
