Two things:

1) DateFormat(PCSDate, "mmmm d, yyyy") is in fact a string. The error arises because you attempted to insert it into a date column. It introduces an extra comma, which breaks your query. Format the database date column, not the input value.

2) Use cfqueryparam for inserting form variables into the database. In fact, that will enable you to just insert the date as

<cfqueryparam value = "#pcsDate#"  cfsqltype = 'cf_sql_date'>.
