Yeah, I second that notion of moving non-Web page related stuff to another scripting language. We use PHP and cron here to handle some scheduled downloads and it works like a charm. Plus PHP (and Perl, for that matter) have OO features now that can make them much easier to learn.

I'd recommend that you consider rewriting the script in something other than CF. While it's easy to use CF for non-runtime tasks, and sometimes necessary, it makes sense to offload those sorts of things from CF wherever possible, since it may impact the performance of other scripts run by users.
