Thanks Brook.
Yes - everything shares the same application.cfm and it works great
under all other browsers -the only problem is with IE5.5 and above where
I get blown out of the water by error messages that client variables
don't exist, though strangely this doesn't happen when I run IE5.5 on
the server itself.
I'm thinking that perhaps the only reliable way of getting it to work is
to change all my client variables into cookie variables which should be
available to all frames from the same site....

Malcom,
Make sure that the frame set pages all share the sam application.cfm
template or root template where you specify the application name and
state
management. I have also heard that using a cflocation after setting a
client var can cause loss of data aswell, although I have never seen
this
for myself.
