Perhaps the js code is wanting the response format to have an xml type header and/or dislikes whitespace at the top of the output. Try this:
<cfcontent type="text/xml; charset=UTF-8" reset="yes" /><cfoutput>#theXML#</cfoutput> You may also want to take a look at <cfinput autosuggest="..."> and http://betterautosuggest.riaforge.org for native ColdFusion/YUI solutions if things get messy with your current solution.
