You might try breaking this down into smaller pieces, to get each piece working. First, write a page that creates the junction. Then, see if the junction was created successfully. Then, see if you can link to the file within the junction. Also, you may have a permissions problem - the IIS user account (IUSR_MACHINENAME if anonymous logins are enabled, the Windows account of the user if they're not) will need permission to d:\file_downloads\fileinquestion. CF will need permission to create the junction also, but presumably it's running as SYSTEM so that shouldn't be a problem.
