The first thing I would try is to make sure you are able to transfer
manually. In addition, permissions and ownerships need to be examined
(for files, directories, and script). Make sure umask is set and also
set the sticky bit on your script (to prevent ownersip/permissions
problems). As always, make sure antivirus, router, intranet, and/or
firewalls are not causing problems. As a simple test - you may want to
write a little script that simply tries to execute the transfer. If
the existing script is written well (to handle errors, valid coding et
al)...chances are it is one of the above issues (or combination). Have
you tried manual FTP or testing with another computer? Does the file
you are attempting to transfer exist? Are you performing a transfer in
binary mode? Try zipping the file you want before transfer.
I do alot of communications programming - it is probably something
deceptively simple as one of the above mentioned things.
To rule out python issues I would certainly try some simple shell
scripting to test FTP functionality.

Thanks for the thoughts, guys. Sadly, no luck there. I've tried
forward and backwards slashes, changing the working directory and
not, and even creating new users and starting from scratch.
Because deletes and puts work just fine, I'm afraid it's some
underlying Linux/Windows communication problem that I just won't be
able to solve.
Thanks,
Mark

Haven't used the SFTP libraries, but we run our game server code
locally on windows during development. It uses Python's Twisted
Framework and we use backslashes in directory paths. In a string the
backslash "\" is used to escape characters, so you need to escape the
backslash itself with another backslash or use a raw string like so:
r'C:\My\Windows\Path'

I've tried every combination of '', '.', './', '/', '/home/', '/
