It works flawlessly if I stick it directly onto the motherboard IDE connector, but as soon as I use the cable, same settings, same CF card, nothing works.

Are you using a 40 conductor or 80 conductor IDE cable?

40.
Is this gender changer 'straight thru', or does it invert the order of the pins as well?
IDE needs the pin order inverted to change the gender.
Try turning off DMA to force it into PIO mode. There may be a jumper for it on the adapter.

You can get around it by making a custom IDE cable by taking the plug off one side and installing it on the other side. It's a huge PITA and more often than not you break the clips on the shroud, don't get cable punched through properly etc etc.
