You have to either escape the inner quotes or mix single and double quotes. Try:

<cfset inputstring = "<img src=""../../../server/win/form/stamp/string_1"" />"/>

or

<cfset inputstring = '<img src="../../../server/win/form/stamp/string_1" />'/>

Oh, and the trailing forward slashes aren't necessary in the <cfset> tag.
