Datastore Clusters migration script

Hello,

I need some help with a few PowerCLI scripts for my vCenter migration project specifically with datastores.  I would like once script that will export all the folders, datastore clusters and it's members to either csv or xml for a specified virtual datacenter.  Then another script to import the exported csv/xml to a specified virtual datacenter.  I will run the export script on my old vCenter then run the import script on my new vCenter after I've migrated the ESXi hosts over.  Attached is s sample screen shot of the folders and datastore clusters/members.  Thanks in advance for any help.

Think I might have found the issue.
Can  you change the third line with

   $q = $_.DScPath.Split('/')

That did it LucD!  Thank you again for all the help!  We're planning a big vCenter migration and this will save me a lot of time and effort.
