A couple of things I can think of:

1) make sure that you can read (and checksum) the '64 CD on your
running box (bad burn?). Even if it's only a 32bit box, it should be
able to read the CD (but not boot from it).
2) when you boot knoppix, send us /proc/cpuinfo... I'm kinda left
wondering if you have a box that doesn't properly run X86-64. Mistakes
do happen.
3) try burning another 64-bit CD -- like the ubuntu one.  See if that works.

Yeah, these are obvious thing, but I don't see that you've done them.

I burnt the CD on 12/13 and tried to boot from it this morning on a
system I just assembled last night. The system would not boot from the
CD. There were no signs that the boot process even began. It did spin
the CD for a while as if it was looking for a bootable device.

I tried booting the same machine from a generic x86 Knoppix CD, and it
booted just fine.  After successfully booting the Knoppix CD, I tried
booting from the Debian boot CD again -- still no luck.
