coldfusion - Why is a SOAP call working from CFM page but not from a CFC page?

Question

I am working with a SOAP request in coldfusion. When the code I have is run from a .CFM file, it works. If it is run from a .CFC file, it doesn't work. The code is the same as far as possible (the .CFC needs the cfcomponent and cffunction tags for example).

Why would it work from one and not the other? When I call it from the CFC page I get the error

Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening? The SOAP request is identical on both pages. The call with the CFHTTP as well as all the CFHTTPPARAMs are the same as well.

Here is the code for the CFC file:

<cfcomponent>
    <cffunction name="updateAgParcel" returntype="string" returnformat="plain" access="remote">
        <cfargument name="ag_pres_nr" required="true" type="string">
        <cfargument name="emp_nr" required="true" type="string">
        <cfargument name="dt_rcvd" required="true" type="string">
        <cfset dt_rcvd = DateFormat(#dt_rcvd#,"MMDDYYYY")>
        <cfsavecontent variable="soapBody">
            <cfoutput>
                <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ass="http://XXXXXX">
                   <soapenv:Header/>
                   <soapenv:Body>
                      <ass:LogAgPreserveFiling>

                            <ass:EMP.NR>#emp_nr#</ass:EMP.NR>

                    </soapenv:Body>
                </soapenv:Envelope>
            </cfoutput>
        </cfsavecontent>

        <cfhttp url="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" method="post" result="httpResponse">
            <cfhttpparam type="header" name="SOAPAction" value="XXXXXXXXXXXX" />
            <cfhttpparam type="header" name="Authorization" value="Basic XXXXXXXXXXXXXX" />
            <cfhttpparam type="header" name="accept-encoding" value="no-compression" />
            <cfhttpparam type="header" name="Content-Type" value="text/xml" />
            <cfhttpparam type="xml" value="#trim( soapBody )#" />
        </cfhttp>

        <cfif find( "200", httpResponse.statusCode )>
            <cfset soapResponse = xmlParse( httpResponse.fileContent ) />
            <cfset responseNodes = xmlSearch(soapResponse, "//*[ local-name() = 'VCfaultdetails'] ") />
            <cfif arrayLen(responseNodes) NEQ 0>
                <cfset error = #responseNodes[ 1 ].message.xmlText#>
                <cfreturn error>
            <cfelse>
                <cfreturn "">
            </cfif>
        </cfif>
    </cffunction>
</cfcomponent>

Code for the CFM version:

<cfsavecontent variable="soapBody">

                   <ass:EMP.NR>#emp_nr#</ass:EMP.NR>
                   <ass:LCAQ.DT.RCVD>#dt_rcvd#</ass:LCAQ.DT.RCVD>
              </ass:LogAgPreserveFiling>
           </soapenv:Body>
        </soapenv:Envelope>
    </cfoutput>
</cfsavecontent>

<cfhttp url="XXXXXXXXXXXXX" method="post" result="httpResponse">

    <cfhttpparam type="header" name="content-type" value="text/xml">

    <cfhttpparam type="header" name="accept-encoding" value="no-compression" />
    <cfhttpparam type="xml" value="#trim( soapBody )#" />
</cfhttp>


<cfif find( "200", httpResponse.statusCode )>
    <cfset soapResponse = xmlParse( httpResponse.fileContent ) />
    <cfset responseNodes = xmlSearch( soapResponse, "//*[ local-name() = 'VCfaultdetails'] " ) />
    <cfif arrayLen(responseNodes) NEQ 0>
    <cfoutput>
        Code: #responseNodes[ 1 ].errorcode#
        <br />
        Message: #responseNodes[ 1 ].message#
    </cfoutput>
    <cfelse>
        Success!!!!!!!!
    </cfif>
</cfif>

I XXXXXX out some of the URL's and such for security. Also, sorry for the namespace the developers choose (ass:). It was the abbreviation for Assessor. Somebody was being funny...
