It's important to note that CF will start at your web server root, which may not be your website root if you are running on a multihomed website. For example, if you are running IIS and you set the web server's root to C:\inetpub\www then CF will start looking in that directory for a directory called 'com' and then one called 'entities' and so forth. So, if your actual website is located at C:\inetpub\www\domain then you need to reference your CFC as domain.com.entities.entity - this is one of those things that's easy to reconcile if you run your own server, but can be a pain if someone else does.
I'm not sure if Apache is better behaved about this, since Virtual Servers have their own document roots, and I'm sure there's a way to do it in IIS (if someone would care to share, I'd really appreciate it) but this is a problem I've run into countless times, and it's a real pain when it comes to portability. If you can get your host to set up mappings, though, that's a good way to go.
