Okay, I believe I may have gotten it working. It’s strange that this isn’t synonymous with Maven. Nonetheless, I was able to get it working by modifying the content selector expression from:  
`/|/@companyB/|/@companyB/npm-dep-1/.*`  
to:  
`/|/@companyB/|/@companyB/npm-dep-1.*`

I removed the final `/` in the expression before the catch-all and it was able to download.
