I wanted to circle back and thank everyone who helped me on this thread. I did as Nathan described below, and it was immediately clear that the cfinvoke posts were not going out. After some painful troubleshooting and using a lot of very bad words, I figured out why.
When using cfinvoke, you must pass ALL arguments specified in the wsdl -- even though they are not required by the service. I swear, I looked at the cf9 docs a bunch of times and never saw that! The good news is that you can pass unneeded arguments with omit=yes so you don't have to set their values. But how crazy is that? You are required to pass all arguments just so you can tell cfinvoke to omit them! In the end it all worked out, but what a pain in the arse!
