Thanks for the reply, Barney... While it could be a race condition, I think it's more likely that it has to do with how the content is being returned to the calling page.
The calling page isn't refreshing, it's just having the content *added* to the page via jquery. I'm not sure about that either, because it just seems that if the cfdump of the session values is one thing when dumped from inside the cfc after setting them, they should be the same when dumped when the code returns to the calling page. I don't know...this is driving me crazy, but it's a pretty involved to solve on the list...
