CFFTP ignoring variable in DIRECTORY path

[bigbrain28]

I have an array (list) which names several folders. I use ListGetAt based on the index of the cfloop value to get the name of the folder I want to LISTDIR with CFFTP. I Assign the name of the folder to a variable. Testing shows the assignment of foldername from array works fine. Hardcoding folder name in CFFTP yields desired result. BUT, when I replace all, or part of the DIRECTORY="path" with the folder-name-variable the yield defaults to the root directory as defined by the ftp credentials.

Why would DIRECTORY="folder/logs/" give me what I want, and DIRECTORY="#folder#/logs" be ignored even when #folder# is clearly defined? I have used variables INSIDE CFFTP before, so I know that works... I am stumped, see attached code for reference; (FYI the "folders" are assigned to the variable called "chamber")

What version of ColdFusion are you using? Server, username, directory and password are not attributes of <CFFTP ACTION="listdir"... > in version 7. Are you intending to do a <CFFTP ACTION="open" ... >?

It turns out it was a pathing issue with the FTP credentials, I simply didn't have the DIRECTORY path properly arranged for the code to find its target. No one could have helped with that!
