Figured out my problem.. Was a SUP - stupid user problem.
<cffile
action="UPLOAD"
filefield="#arguments.formField#"
destination="#arguments.destination#"
nameconflict="#arguments.nameconflict#"
accept="#arguments.accept#"
attributes = "normal"
result = "result_name">
It was the last line [result = "result_name">] that caused the problem.
Notes in the books stated that cffile was the default but it was not til I
took the advice of one of my friends to do a <cfdump var="#variables#> that
an inkling of the shot in the foot had a occurred. Searching Livedocs
found:
{{{result - Optional - Allows you to specify a name for the variable in
which cffile returns the result (or status) parameters. If you do not
specify a value for this attribute, cffile uses the prefix 'cffile'. For
more information, see the Usage section.}}}
Thanks again for your response, and have a great day.

I just skimmed over it, so this may not be it, but something to check out.
i.e. you change the call like this (removed "form."):
<cfinvokeargument name="formField" value="aFile">
don't think CF expects that form prefix, it expects a string of the field
name.
again, not sure that is your issue, but jumped out at me.
