Actually the code does work by creating a deadlock for the session and waits until a timeout occurs before page proscessing can begin again. At least that's what I think it's doing. I tested it out for what I needed and it appears to be functioning.
But does this effect only this one user session? Will anyone other user trying to access this page be locked out of the protected section of the page? And does anyone know what the maximum TIMEOUT value can be for this cflock tag? or what is safe?

The TIMEOUT attribute of CFLOCK doesn't specify the length that the lock will be held open, just the length CF will wait before giving up when trying to acquire the lock.
