There might be some problem with file permissions or the path to the
script preventing the script from running when invoked from ColdFusion.
  Have you verified that the script is actually running? (Try having
the script, rather than CF, write to a file in a directory with global
write permission).

P.S. I assume you are the same person who posted a job with a similar
question on IT moonlighter. If so, are you just looking for a solution
to this problem, or is there other work you want done?
