Unfortunately this isn't an adequate description of the problem.  Does  
the following document work for you? (Note that the subfig package has  
replaced the subfigure package.  As far as I know, tocloft is still  
compatible with subfig as well.)

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{subfig}
\usepackage[subfigure]{tocloft}

\begin{document}
\begin{figure}
\begin{subfloat}[Box 1]{\rule{1in}{1in}}\end{subfloat}
\begin{subfloat}[Box 2]{\rule{1in}{1in}}\end{subfloat}
%\subfigure[Box 1]{\rule{1in}{1in}} % legacy commands from subfigure
%\subfigure[Box 2]{\rule{1in}{1in}}
\caption{Two boxes}
\end{figure}


\end{document}

Since this document doesn't produce the error you report, there must  
be something different in your file.   You need to trim it down to  
something like this one to see what is really causing the problem.

(I've included the old subfigure commands commented out; but loading  
subfigure and using these commands doesn't change anything.)
