Problems with cffile

I am probably overlooking something simple, but I have been staring at this for so long I can't see it. Maybe some fresh eyes may spot the problem.

I have a simple cffile:

<cffile action="UPLOAD"
        destination="\\wincfdev01\wwwroot\memo\pdfs"
        nameconflict="OVERWRITE"
        filefield="file1">

I run the page and it runs without error. But when I look in the folder that the file is supposed to be dropped in, it is not there. Is there something that I am missing?

Using coldfusion 9.

    The only obvious thing in your code snippet is that you're pointing to a UNC share path rather than a local path. Does CF have rights to that share? By default, CF doesn't have rights to remote shares.
