Don't know if this applies to your CFX senario, but to use UNC paths 
with <cfile...> and <cfdirectory> type functionality you need to make 
sure the user that ColdFusion runs under has permissions to the desired 
network resource.

By default a Windows installation of ColdFusion is installed under the 
'localSystem' user which generally has no network privileges.  On Unix 
flavors ColdFusion is installed under a SysAdmin defined user, but will 
only have the permissions the SysAdmin allowed for that user.

There maybe more to it then this for custom tags, but that is the first 
thing I would look at.
