Recording proxy or the FireFox LiveHTPHeaders plugin.

Create a custom tag to wrap the cflocation tag. Replace all instances
of cflocation with cf_location or whatever the name of your tag
is. Within the tag, add a line to a text file with cffile
action="" to show a log of what's been redirected and to where.
Run your page, check the log.

trying to redirect to where?

Ian,

 
I don't know if this applies, but when I have confusing and unplanned
page-to-page routing, I add a dummy URL variable to suspect statements that
do the routing.That allows me to see whether that statement is in fact the
one doing the redirecting, since the page it arrives at will have the
variable in the URL.Since you have a loop, I would both add this dummy
variable and cut the loop somewhere, so that it stops in its tracks.By
trial-and-error, you should be able to test each of the redirects.

 
I'm afraid that it's not the easiest way in the world.Still, it shouldn't
take more than a few minutes to find the problem.

 
HTH,
Matthieu

There may be an easier way to do that, but please think twice 
before you use it: http://www.spike.org.uk/blog/index.cfm
