Ahh!! Think I got it. Validate must run from the same folder where manifest resides. I was providing relative paths from a parent folder which doesn't seem to work.

winget validate --manifest .
Manifest validation succeeded.

Thanks for posting solution. I encountered this issue when I referenced specific yaml files instead of the directory.
