I don't think that CF tries to read from that directory (if it does then
that directory is accesible to the browser).

Please use directory not structure, it's confusing.

Again, if it's outside CF shouldn't have access to it (unless you have
an alias, mod_rewrite, etc redirecting to that dir)

How do you know ? (It's really a question)

"Cache web server paths" in Server Settings -> Caching might or might
not help (in the CF administrator).
