cfdirectory not working... kinda

Question

I'm hoping someone can help me out with this. Running CF8 on Windows multiserver install, developing locally on XP Pro and production on Win2003 Server. For some reason I can't get cfdirectory to return results past top level folders.
<cfdirectory action="list" directory="\\#server#\home\" name="dircontent"> works and returns results
<cfdirectory action="list" directory="\\#server#\home\#user#\" name="dircontent"> returns zero results

I have the service set up to log on with a valid user account. The same happens when I try it with other top level folders, but locally it will show everything correct. Has anyone seen this happen before?

I figured out what it was. Both my CF servers are set up as multiserver, but on my local machine I didn't bother to setup and start a separate JRun service for it, letting it instead run off the CFusion service. This is the one I had set to log on with the valid user account. It apparently didn't like that. When I put the cfm file on the 8300 instance it worked. Same when I started a separate JRun service for port 8301.

I don't have a lot of experience working with CF8 multiserver instance but I find it strange that it worked this way. I would have expected cfdirectory to work fine if it was showing the top level folders. Oh well, problem solved.

Thanks
