The Setup:
CTI RP in CCM 5.1.1b CFA to Voicemail.
Call Handler is configured to transfer back to an extension (with Hunt Group attached) during business hours.
If I call the Call Handler, Unity is playing the Call Handler greeting, rather than observing the transfer function.
thanks!

Unity version?
How are you calling the call handler? This is critical information - if you're dialing the extension of the call handler from the opening greeting that's one scenario, if you're fowarding from an extension that is assigned to the call handler directly, that's another.
Another thing to check is make sure you're testing with the alternate transfer rule - this over rides the standard and off hours rules so you make sure you're working with the active rule that way.
If you're forwarding from extension "1234" and you have a call handler setup with "1234" then the transfer rule will be skipped by design - this is to prevent "Transfer loops" which can be deadly. You can get around this by chaining a couple call handlers together such that the "first call" flag is cleared. If that's not what you're doing, let us know since it's likely a configuration problem then.

I was hitting the Call Handler directly.
I worked with TAC and reworked the Call Handler to have a blank greeting and Attempt Transfer for the same Call Handler. It then observes the Call Transfer settings.
Is this design feature documented somewhere? I'm sure I could pick up some other tips..

First in the Call Handle make sure the greeting check lable Blank is checked. Then make sure you have choosen transfer to subscriber not transfer to greeting under the greeting section.
