I know.that's what I was doing, since I don't use the #'s normally in a cfset tag.
However, without them, the method wouldn't run (or something else was happening during the transfer of the json data between the method and the calling page. Why it's working now, I'm not sure.

In the cfc method that is processing the values, I had: <cfset session.values.section_subtitle = arguments.section_subtitle /> I figured I didn't need ## around arguments.section_subtitle. But when I surrounded all the argument values with '# #', such as '#arguments.section_subtitle#' , the ajax and method worked find. AJAX throws so many curves.it's hard to hit the ball! Thanks for responding.

When I look at the generated code in Firebug, the values are good for the session variables. And I use '<cfoutput>#application.dsn#</cfoutput>' successfully in all other ajax functions without problem. When I substitute hard-coded values in place of the session variables, the function works. Does anyone familiar with jQuery and ColdFusion session variables know of an issue with this approach?
