I ran into this problem a few months ago, unfortunately at a previous job, so I don't have access to all my documents/notes/DL'd files for fixing this. Basically though, if you are using a version of MySQL later than (I think) 4.0, you may need to download a different connector than what CF6.1 provides pre-packaged. Try downloading the lastest from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/ and following the instructions at http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_19170
