I converted all the <cfexecute> statesments to this format and they ran
fine...they
did utilize the cmd.exe even though the cmd.exe wasn't explicitly called
with the format below.

<cfexecute
                     name            =
"f:\inetpub\webroot\real_estate_data\hmls\10_hmls_batch_files\load_hmls_active_photos.bat"
                     arguments     =     "/c"
                     timeout         =     "5000">
</cfexecute>

The format seemed to work either way.

The issue I was having embarassingly was that when I rewrote the profiles
for Navicat
to run (such as load_hmls_active_photos.bat) I changed the other profile
names
from "load_hmls_agent_temp" to "load_hmls_agent_data", inadvertantly
changing only
the last work in the name for the other profiles.  That's why I could get
the first profile
to run, but not the others.  It was driving me crazy!  And I even looked
over the profile
and file names to insure they were correct and didn't catch it until the
bitter end.

What a WASTE of time because of a series of stupid mistakes...sigh...

Thanks for all who prompted my thinking!

Now at last I can move forward...
