Do you have quoted values in your arguments? CFEXECUTE won't handle those correctly. However, you can pass an array of arguments (instead of a string), and those should work. That being said, I usually go to an intermediary shell script (or BAT file) when I have to shell out from CF. That gives me better control over the execution.
