Display paths script doesn't run the same in vsphere 4

We have been using the following scripts on our ESX Vcenter 2.5.u5 server to set the prefered paths on our SAN. It has been running great, now that I try and run it on VSphere it will no longer re port the information as in the past. The line get scsi lun is wrapping on this forum it is one long path in the code.

I am attaching files with the code I use. The screen shots included are the results for both what happens in 2.5 u5 as well as vsphere 4 u1.

What I would like is the same screenshot "style" that I get in vcenter 2.5 in the 4.0 u1.

Any help would be appreciated.

The script does appear to run the same for me, it's just that in vSphere the fields you are after are significantly longer.

VirtualCenter2.5

Name              : vmhba1:0:100
ScsiLunId         : HostSystem-host-61257/vmhba1:0:100
LunPath           : vmhba1:0:100
SanId             : 101:102:117:104:100:123:101:121

Preferred         : True

vCenter4.0

So unless you have a very wide screen you might have trouble get a nice list to display with any truncation.
