The file is in a subfolder.
Please see the attached session log...

I kind of got it to work. I ended up changing folders on the remote end using the session.executecommand method to call CWD. Then I had to get a list of files in the folder. I was then able to get files. Not sure why, but this works.

Using CWD works yes, thanks.
Im not using double folders so i can do this with:

Dim Path() As String
Dim SourceFile As String
If source.Contains("/") Then
Path = source.Split("/")
SourceFile = Path(1)
Dim command As String = "CWD" & Path(0)
session.ExecuteCommand(command)

Else
SourceFile = source
End If

Dim transferResult As TransferOperationResult
transferResult = session.GetFiles(SourceFile, dest)
