    Amongst other issue you might have, <cffile action="write"> doesn't - to the best of my knowledge - support the nameconflict attribute; that's just for UPLOAD.

    Yes, I understand that. I was just advising that you're obviously expecting that functionality to work, and it won't.

    I'm guessing it does create a file, but probably isn't putting it in the location you're expecting.  Try specifying the full filepath for it.
