I think James is right, but have you tried changing the return type on your cfc to 'void'? Even though I don't that will make a difference. The only times I don't return anything from a cfc is when I'm making a change to a database (insert, update, delete...), and even then I should probably still return some sort of boolean or something to indicate that it was successful.
Also, think about it. How would the cfc know where to output the data? Someone, please correct me if I'm wrong on this, but since the CFC is being called via the XMLHttpRequest object there is no 'output channel' (for lack of a better term, on my part). Basically what I mean is that this object is specifically (as far as I know) used to send data to the server so it can crunch on it, and then receive the data returned by the server. Just sending and receiving data, that's it. Output is just returned to the caller so that something can then be done with it. I believe that this is why Rob added specific debugging code to AjaxCFC, because you couldn't simply output a variable to the screen or something, because it would be returned to the calling function via the XMLHttpRequest object. On top of that since the CFC is (for all intents and purposes) being called as if it was in the url, the output is *automatically* wrapped in a WDDX packet. This is the other thing that AjaxCFC takes care of for us (thank, God!). It serializes the WDDX packet. In short, I don't think you can do what you're trying to do. At least, not via the Ajax model. Again, someone please correct me if I'm wrong in any of this.
