David,
One big question -- CFMX or CF5 (or 4.5)?
CFMX uses the jIntegra Java-COM bridge which is doesn't like poorly written
COM objects (objects that work just fine in ASP). And it doesn't like some
perfectly fine COM objects :) Tough job running COM under Java.
If you're using ColdFusion 5, one question is do you have a multi-processor
server? I've had a devil of a time with some COM objects under ColdFusion
(and ASP for that matter) when moving from single to dual/quad processor
machines. Something about threading and the threading model chosen for the
COM object. Been a long time since I did COM so I'll leave the details for
someone else.
When I've had similar COM problems before, I've gone as far as getting debug
builds from the vendor -- usually we're talking source code change. But then
again, maybe it just needs regsrv32 and a reboot :)
I'd try it on another server/machine before I wasted a lot of time with
anything else.

John Paul Ashenfelter
