Thanks Bud and Shawnea for your help. Shawnea's
comment about cookies and domains prompted me to add
domain=".mydomain.com" to the <CFCOOKIE> statement.
That seems to have solved my problem...I hope I don't
speak too soon.
Weird, but makes sense.

My recollection - and someone jump in here if I am off
base - is that client
variables DO utilize cookies to some extent - and
cookies can only set and
read by the same domain. The browser doesn't "know"
that the domains are
'virtual'.
So what is happening is the client variables aren't
disappearing when you go
to xyz.mysite.com if you set them on www.mysite.com.
They were never there
to begin with.
