If you could post a small, self-contained example which demonstrates
this issue, it would help immensely in diagnosing the problem.

It works fine the first time it is called, but does not work when
called a second time. I have tried using the same channel, using
different channels that are part of the same session, and using
different channels on different sessions. The last instance really
surprises me.
Can anyone offer any advice on what to change so that I can get this
function to work appropriately on multiple calls? On secondary calls,
ssh_channel_request_exec(channel, cmd) does not return SSH_OK.
Any help would be appreciated.
