Ian, I had a chance to test, and yes indeed, it was a permissions problem. Once I set the user on the CF service to one that had broader privileges (in this case, admin privileges), it worked just fine.
One wrinkle: when I added an additional custom tags directory mapping, the CF administrator didn't like using the mapped drive (i.e. "Z:\customtags\"), but it seems to work well with a SMB share (i.e. "\\osx-machine\user\sites\customtags\"). Anyway, thanks again for the nudge. I probably would have torn my hair out for days over that one. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion is delivering applications solutions at at top companies around the world in government.
