Do you have a coldfusion mapping calle '/' pointing to the webroot directory.
If not then I'd guess that's what the problem is. The component attribute of the cfinvoke tag works a bit like the template attribute of the cfmodule tag. i.e. <cfmodule template="/extremeCF/employeemgr.cfm"> would look like <cfinvoke component="extremeCF.employeemgr"... You drop the first slash and replace the rest of them with '.' This is just an example, trying to invoke employeemgr.cfm won't work, because it's not a cfc, but hopefully you get the idea of how pathing works for the cfcomponent tag.
