Just use the one overriding Core Foundation rule:

If you got the strings by calling any routine with "Create" or "Copy" in its name, then you are responsible for releasing those variables. If not, then whomever created them is responsible for doing the release.

There is the odd exception, in APIs that were created before these rules became set in stone. An example is GetDataBrowserListViewHeaderDesc, the struct it fills in contains a CFStringRef you need to release. I am always a bit wary with functions that first appeared during a time when the rules weren't so clear.
