Ideally your redirects will remain in place permanently but not for SEO reasons. The search engines will eventually associate tyhe new URLs with the old URLs and update their indexes accordingly. However, users who follow links that lead to the old URLs will get lost if those redirects are removed.

But you're going to want to remove the old CFM pages because they're just sitting there wasting space and creating clutter. So I suggest you go back and put your redirects in an htaccess file so you can have them all in one place and have the ability to remove the no longer needed CFM files.
