Well, at first I did work out a way (with some help!) to us JS to generate the additional file fields and give each one a unique name, however, I realized that since the user is generating the inputs and the input's name, I would have to automatically generate some CFML to correspond to the generated file fields for processing.
For example, with a comma-delimited list of file field names, I could use a loop with for=1 to len(comma-delimited list) (pseudo code) and loop through the file names for cffile processing and inserting into a db. However, with uniquely name fields being created by the user, how would I let CF know how many fields it needed to process? If I know how many file fields a user created, I would know exactly what the field names would be, because the JS increments the names starting with image-upload-1, then image-upload-2, etc. So, how would I handle the processing not knowing the number of fields being passed by the form to CF?
