If I wanted to derive the file name from a path in T-SQL, I would use the following:
LTRIM(RTRIM(REVERSE(SUBSTRING(REVERSE(b.filename),0,CHARINDEX('\', REVERSE(b.filename), 0)))))
However, I don't think there is a CHARINDEX function in SSIS. So what would be the SSIS equivalent to get the job done?

Refer to find a list of various SSIS functions

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms141671.aspx

in particular - FINDSTRING

If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.

Thanks to you, I think I'm gaining an understanding of Findstring, except for one thing: how do figure out the LAST occurrence of the "\" character within the string?

Reverse the string, find the first occurrence in the reversed string and then subtract that from the total string length ...

And here is a link that explains the REVERSE function
