I would recommend using Application.cfc instead of Application.cfm for this. There is an 'onMissingTemplate' function in the .cfc that is exactly what you need for your redirect. I'm using it for a similar purpose on site right now.
It should not be very hard to convert from Application.cfm to Application.cfc, and you gain a lot of new functionality for your app when using Application.cfc. I had always used Application.cfm in the past, but I just recently converted a site to Application.cfc to take advantage of some of the hooks available - it was well worth the effort.
