The problem here looks to be this line:
<CFIF IsDefined("form.rememberme") IS "Yes">
You can fix this a few different ways:
<cfif IsDefined("FORM.rememberme") AND FORM.rememberme IS "Yes">
...
</cfif>
(this is called short-circuit evaluation; the second condition in the cfif
will only be checked if the form variable is defined)
OR (my personal perference)
<cfparam name="FORM.rememberme" default="No">
<cfif FORM.rememberme IS "Yes">
....
</cfif>
