I was able to run your code without any problems. The first thing you should
check is to be sure that the account ColdFusion is running under (typically
'nobody', but not necessarily) has permissions to the directory structure
where the files are residing, and to the files themselves. When I ran my
test against files that were outside of my defined webroot, I got 0 results
from the query. I then changed the permissions on that directory and I was
then able to run the page and see the 4 pics_* pages I had created.
Also, you didn't mention what version of ColdFusion you're running. If it's
not SP2, I'd recommend trying that out.
The only other reason I could think of that might be a factor would be your
version of RedHat. RH 7.0 is not a supported platform for ColdFusion, only
RH 6.x. I doubt that's the problem, but if the steps above don't resolve the
problem, you might want to give your code a test on a RH 6.x machine if you
have one available.
