    Yes, and you see it worked for me in my screenshot with a full path. The only thing I'm aware of that LM will do to a powershell script is do a search-and-replace of ##TOKEN## but I didn't see any of that in your code. Even your error message isn't show the path getting screwed up and it's powershell telling you the file doesn't exist there.
