Well it would depend on if you were doing a CFSET or a CFPARAM in your fbx_settings. I think many of us use param, that way we can hand in variables to over write whatever the default value is. This aids in code reuse, and our attempts at drag and drop. The easy way is, as mentioned before, to make sure you have an Application.cfm at your apps root.
