Solution found thanks to -==cfSearching==- (http://cfsearching.blogspot.com/) over at the adobe cf forums. He noticed that the size received by ColdFusion is 2b bigger than the original file. If however an additional <cfhttpparam> form field is added after the file field, it magically works. If you add the form field before the file it doesn't work.
I'm submitting this bug to adobe and hopefully this thread will help others who run into the problem. I searched google yesterday to find more info on the problem and this thread on cf-talk was one of the top results. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:305034 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
