If its a shared host, check the control panel for a default document setting. Depending on the CP implementation, its possible that there is some magic happening there that is performing the redirect. Its possible the the default document has been set as the templates/home.cfm document.
If its redirecting without any reference in Application.cfm or a <cflocation> tag somewhere, then I would check the CP for the setting. Another off-chance question: Is there an .htaccess file higher up in the directory structure? Some servers can be configured with the .htaccess outside of the site root. You might also check the <VirtualHost> directive for the site, if its Apache, to see if theres an Alias reference.
