Actually I recommend using the UNC name (\\servername\sharename\dir\file)
because using the drive letter relies on that drive being mapped.

<cfquery> is one thing - those refernce a dsn set in CF Administrator.
<cfcontent> needs an actual file path. Your server has no idea what
"\\servername\..." means. It needs
"D:\exact\file\path\
You may, however, be able to manipulate your serverpath using #ExpandPath()#
