One likely reason is that the directory of the page that test.cfm redirects to, that is, /test/, may already have a separate Application file. That would initiate a new session, hence new CFID and CFToken values. Search your directories to ensure there are not 2 or more active Application files in the relevant paths.
Some more suggestions follow. Your HTML tags, as they now stand, are redundant, and should be left out. In particular, there is no Javascript code, and so there is no need for <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Script-Type" CONTENT="text/javascript">. In any case, if you need to run Javascript code later, then simply use <script type="text/javascript"></script>.
A session timeout of 8 hours is likely to be impractical. The usual value is about half an hour. You also mention no application timeout.
Putting the suggestions together:
test.cfm
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
/* Javascript code goes here. */
</script>
<link href="/musd_web/css/screen.css" REL="StyleSheet" media="screen" type="text/css">
</head>
<cflock timeout = "60" scope = "SESSION" type = "Exclusive">
<cfset session.stuff ="Stuff is here!">
</cflock>
<cfset x="2">
<button type="button" value="GO"
onClick="window.location='/test/junk.cfm'">Go</button>
<cfdump var="#session#" label="session">
/test/junk.cfm
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
/* Javascript code goes here. */
</script>
</head>
<cfdump var="#session#" label="session">
<cfif isDefined("session.stuff")>
<cfoutput>#session.stuff#</cfoutput>
<cfelse>
Variable session.stuff is undefined.
</cfif>
