if you want to use absolute paths then the path needs to be same on both live and dev. If they are not then the path will of course point to the wrong folder. This is very straight forward to achieve, as the path only needs to be same from the website root, anything above this is local to your dev environment and is not important and not part of the calculated path.
You also need to remember that when calculating paths dynamically, some functions calculate relative tot he calling template and not the the application.cfm/cfc, so you may want to check that this is not the case. I know ExpandPath() does the latter, but do not recall if getCurrentTemplatePath() does the same. Just dump out the mapping to see what it looks like and you will see where it has gone wrong.
