Well, I'm not exactly sure what was causing the error, but after playing around a bit with the validator, I figured out that I couldn't just pass all the files at once. Instead, I made a new array that associated each file with keys 'file0', 'file1', etc. Then I passed these to the validator and set rules for each one (using a foreach loop). Then the validator worked as expected. Still, it wasn't flexible enough for my needs and I ended up using a non-laravel solution.
