Synchronization Failure

Hi everyone. I am trying to get one of the scripts found on this site to work for me. I am using the download and delete script but every time i plug in my variables and run in powershell i get an error of the value supplied is not valid. Any ideas?

param (
    $localPath = "C:\temp\Target2",
    $remotePath = "/out"
)
 
try
{
    # Load WinSCP .NET assembly
    Add-Type -Path "WinSCPnet.dll"
 
    # Setup session options
    $sessionOptions = New-Object WinSCP.SessionOptions -Property @{
        Protocol = [WinSCP.Protocol]::Sftp
        HostName = "spscommerce.com"
        UserName = "santa"
        Password = "christmas1234"
        SshHostKeyFingerprint = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
    }
 
    $session = New-Object WinSCP.Session
 
    try
    {
        # Connect
        $session.Open($sessionOptions)
 
        # Synchronize files to local directory, collect results
        $synchronizationResult = $session.SynchronizeDirectories(
            [WinSCP.SynchronizationMode]::Local, $localPath, $remotePath, $False)
 
        # Deliberately not calling $synchronizationResult.Check
        # as that would abort our script on any error.
        # We will find any error in the loop below
        # (note that $synchronizationResult.Downloads is the only operation
        # collection of SynchronizationResult that can contain any items,
        # as we are not removing nor uploading anything)
 
        # Iterate over every download
        foreach ($download in $synchronizationResult.Downloads)
        {
            # Success or error?
            if ($download.Error -eq $Null)
            {
                Write-Host "Download of $($download.FileName) succeeded, removing from source"
                # Download succeeded, remove file from source
                $filename = [WinSCP.RemotePath]::EscapeFileMask($download.FileName)
                $removalResult = $session.RemoveFiles($filename)
 
                if ($removalResult.IsSuccess)
                {
                    Write-Host "Removing of file $($download.FileName) succeeded"
                }
                else
                {
                    Write-Host "Removing of file $($download.FileName) failed"
                }
            }
            else
            {
                Write-Host (
                    "Download of $($download.FileName) failed: $($download.Error.Message)")
            }
        }
    }
    finally
    {
        # Disconnect, clean up
        $session.Dispose()
    }
 
    exit 0
}
catch
{
    Write-Host "Error: $($_.Exception.Message)"
    exit 1
}
