It's not returning whitespace, the method itself is generating whitespace. You need to specify output="false" in the CFFUNCTION tag and the CFCOMPONENT tag. That will prevent anything from being output by the method.
In general, CFFUNCTION should always have that attribute set. The only exception would be if your CFC is designed to generate output (html) for the client.
