problems with missing template handler

Hello,
We have put the name testmiss.cfm in the missing template handler in the administrator. Still, the default ColdFusion error message shows when a cfinclude has template=a nonexisting file and when in an html form,
action=a nonexisting cfm file. I have testmiss.cfm in both the root with Application.cfm and the directory with all the other cfms but still no luck.
Any idea what we are doing wrong?
Thank you very much.

    I have always had to put my missing template handler file in the
    ColdFusion root. Where this is depends somewhat which flavor of CF you
    are using. In my multi-home flavor it is

    C:\JRun4\servers\cfusion\cfusion-ear\cfusion-war

    Thanks for writing back.
    I am using MX6.1 and my directory structure is x:cfms. There is a copy of testmiss.cfm in the root x: and I have tried testmiss.cfm and ..\testmiss.cfm typed in Missing Template Handler in the Administrator. Still the default error message is what shows.
    Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
