I think we're at crossed purposes? Perhaps this will clarify things:

This is the path CFIMAGE is trying to use:
/stetsonimages/images/gallery/lg/0612-177/wmsr734_0612-181_28.JPG

This displays the image correctly, devoid of any CF code:
http://127.0.0.1:3977/stetsonimages/images/gallery/lg/0612-177/wmsr734_0612-181_28.JPG

If these paths don't point to the same location, please advise. Fwiw, I 
tried the long path in the srcfile attribute, without success.

This doesn't work, either:
<cfimage action="grayscale" 
destfile="/stetsonimages/images/gallery/work/temp.jpg" 
srcfile="#ExpandPath("wmsr734_0612-181_28.JPG")#">

Result:

Sucess: NO
Error: Error loading image. File could not be found, or is an invalid 
format : 
/Volumes/Durandal/jetty-openbd_www/webapps/openbd/stetsonimages/wmsr734_0612-181_28.JPG

I did, but the variable in question stores this string:
images/gallery/lg/0612-177/wmsr734_0612-181_28.JPG


Success, of sorts:

I was able to get a YES value from CFIMAGE.success when I did this:
<cfimage action="grayscale" destfile="#ExpandPath("temp.jpg")#" 
srcfile="#ExpandPath("wmsr734_0612-181_28.JPG")#" 
nameconflict="makeunique">

Downside is the tag looks for the file in the site's root. How do I get 
it to find the image within its correct subdirectory?

Lastly, how do I get CFIMAGE to show the picture in the browser? 
Instructions on the wiki cause errors.

Once I get it working here, I'll try it on the production box.

Ok ... thanks for the tip.
