application.cfc losing datasource

I have an application.cfc and .cfm file in my root directory. I also have one of each in a subdirectory called gui. The reason that I need it in the gui directory is that I need users to log in, and I don't want a login for the rest of the site.
So when I created these two files in the gui directory, all of a sudden my apps can't find the datasource or other variables in them. Everything was working just fine before I did this. Can someone take a look at my cfc file and see if there's something wrong? I've attached the code. Thanks.

Since it involves application variables, you might have to restart the application for the changes to take effect. Also, I expected something like this instead

<cffunction name="onApplicationStart">
<cfparam name="mydatasource" default="taxtest">
<cfset application.datasource="taxtest">
<cfreturn True>
</cffunction>
