Exactly. Otherwise stats programs think you're calling a folder instead of a file 
(since it does not end with a file name).  How much this matters varies between stats 
programs and how they handle things internally.  Also, a URL that does not end with a 
file name OR a slash is technically incorrect, and if some program or search engine 
decides to add the slash for you ("fix-up" the URL), then the result could cause a 404 
error when requested (eg. www.mysites.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/foo/ should throw a 404 
error, or at least it does on WebSite and Apache).

Sorry, can't help with the original problem.  Curious though, did you associate the 
.ren extension with CF system-wide, or just set up IIS to handle .ren some other way?  
I'm thinking 2 different processes are being used when checking what to do with the 
.ren file.
