You're right, it is onSessionEnd. I have that working. I'm going to  
try to see what errors I can get later tonight.

And yes, you're right in that I *should* be using FMS (I'd much  
rather be!) but my client wants this in CF. The chat actually works  
pretty well so far aside from this one issue. We're working on a sort  
of 'long-polling' solution that is pretty snappy for the end user,  
which might explain why I'm making the call every minute. I might  
just have to live with a short timeout on the session and handle it  
that way (which is what I'm doing now).

Either way, thanks for your help!
