I thought that the application.cfc was ignored for Flex Remoting requests. I have no idea why I think that, though, especially since it is documented that "OnRequest" can interfere with Flex remoting requests.
I'll add that, I think it's a very bad idea to have "Remote use" CFCs that rely on shared scope variables, such as session.
