Take a look at Nate Weiss's(or is it someone else?) CSVtoQuery CFX, I used to use it (prior to CFMX) and it worked like a charm. If you can't find it, tell me and I'll email it to you.
If you're dealing with XLS files maybe take a look at the ODBC/ADO driver for Excel and create a DSN to your excel file, that might take out the need for a CFX. If you're on CFMX, try to find a Java Library that handles Excel CSVs (like the one found there: http://ostermiller.org/utils/) and use CFOBJECT to interact with it, works well for me. I know this doesn't solve your problem, but these might help you not reinvent the wheel.
