When you test it through the ODBC control panel, are you able to connect by entering a username and password there? > Any other ideas as to what the problem is?

CF Server permissions may be relevant - that is, if you're running CF Server within the SYSTEM security context, and you're trying to connect to a remote SQL Server using a trusted connection, it won't work.
