I was hoping that someone else had a similar problem and could point me 
to the solution. ;-)

I had each file individually tested, and each works when retrieved by 
itself. However, when getting the whole directory, the directory was 
listed and only one file was retrieved. I'd say that it working once and 
then not a second time would be a pretty good summation of the problem. 
Is this a known issue?

Thanks!
