Download Most Recent File Problem

I'm trying to get this script to run:

https://winscp.net/eng/docs/script_download_most_recent_file

but it says no files available even tho there are a ton. What's weird is that the line:

WScript.Echo(exec.StdOut.ReadAll());

echos out all the files....

Here is how the XML file ends:

It seems like the script is just missing a whole section; unless the log file is supposed to be written out in XML (which it's not).

// run winscp to get list of file in the remote directory into XML log -- which I don't think it's an XML log...rather just a text file with ".xml" at the end.
exec = shell.Exec("\"" + WINSCP + "\" /log=\"" + logfilepath + "\"");
exec.StdIn.Write(
"option batch abort\n" +
"open \"" + SESSION + "\"\n" +
"ls \"" + REMOTEPATH + FILEMASK + "\"\n" +
"exit\n");

// wait until the script finishes
while (exec.Status == 0)
{
WScript.Sleep(100);
WScript.Echo(exec.StdOut.ReadAll()); //Here is where it shows you all the files it found
}

// It seems like right here there should be output to XML format or something.

if (exec.ExitCode != 0)
{
WScript.Echo("Error retrieving list of files");
WScript.Quit(1);
}

// look for log file
var logfile = filesys.GetFile(logfilepath);

if (logfile == null)
{
WScript.Echo("Cannot find log file");
WScript.Quit(1);
}

// parse XML log file
var doc = new ActiveXObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument");
doc.async = false;
doc.load(logfilepath);

doc.setProperty("SelectionNamespaces",
"xmlns:w='https://winscp.net/schema/session/1.0'");

var nodes = doc.selectNodes("//w:file");

What version of WinSCP are you using? Make sure you use the latest one.
