Context validation error for the cffunction tag

I am getting an error within my CFC stating that I am missing an end tag. I can see the end tag there just fine. I have isolated the function into its own cfc and the problem persists. A code snippet is attached.

I am getting the argument trying access the page as a WSDL. I have discovered that if I remove the <CFARGUMENT> line then it comes back fine.

Hopefully I am just missing something stupid. Thanks for any help!
