I don't think you can do exactly what you want without cycling the CF Administrator. It's been my experience that, once you've run a custom tag once, CF will expect that tag to be at the original location, so that even if you move it to another location within the normally searched tag directories, you'll get an error. I could be wrong about this, since I don't remember exactly when I ran into this, but it's easy enough to test. So, how to work around this, assuming you can't cycle the CF service? You might try some stopgap measures to hold you until the next time the service is cycled or the machine is rebooted, such as copying the file to the new location, then changing the original to simply CFINCLUDE the copy, or deleting the original and replacing it with a symlink to the copy.
