CreateObject and Component Explorer

given the code below i get the following message using the coldfusion component explorer (http://localhost/cfide/componentutils/componentdoc.cfm?)
Component not found
The component definition file for component 'sms_root.components.cust' cannot be found on this server.

if i remove the following line from the code
<cfset VARIABLES.objGeneralDAO=CreateObject("component", "components.generalDAO")>
then the component explorer can find the component without issue.  I am wondering why
<cfcomponent displayname="TESTCFC" extends="generalFuncs">
	<cfscript>
		init();
	</cfscript>
    
    <cffunction name="init">
    	<cfreturn this />
    </cffunction>
    
    <cfset VARIABLES.objGeneralDAO=CreateObject("component", "components.generalDAO")>
    
   
</cfcomponent>

what you are using is relative paths when you do CreateObject("component", "components.generalDAO")
