I'm having an issue with a migration script I've written to migrate VMs between 2 VCs. The first part of the script works as designed (checks tools, right-sizes, and removes VM from inventory on the source VC). The second part fails.on the destination VC when setting the folder:
#The CSV should be in the following format
#VMNAME,$MEM,$CPU,$VMHOST,$VMXFILE,$CLUSTER,$VMFOLDER,$RESPOOL,$VMNETWORK
#Even if there's not going to be a change, the
#cells cannot be blank use "" for blank
#Import the CSV
$vmlist = Import-CSV d:\scripts\naotest-UCSmigration.csv
#Prompts user for the source and destination vCenter servers
$SourceVC = Read-Host -Prompt 'What is the source vCenter?'
$DestVC= Read-Host -Prompt 'What is the destination vCenter?'
#connects to the source vCenter for right-sizing
connect-viserver $SourceVC
#check tools status first

I pulled the path information from RVTOOLS (along with most of the other relevant info). Is the path info incorrect, or is it a problem in my script? Any assistance would be appreciated.
P.S. I don't know that setting the network will work or not, I haven't gotten that far!
