Parsing an Xml document with extension .NEW

I'm trying to the parse the contents of an XML file passed from my company's subscription's database and store them in a database on my website. The file itself is called MEDIA001.NEW, and by changing the extension on windows explorer i can file the file, however, i can't get coldfusion to read it. I'm using coldfusion 6.1 at the moment. Any ideas on how I can get coldfusion to read this file? (have copied a small portion of the .NEW file and attached...)
