Problems running a command remotely with parameters

Hi

I am attempting to run a command with parameters remotely but have spent days trying to find the right format for the parameters. I have used PowerShell for a while but am new to remoting. The command that I am trying to execute is  MySQL.exe –uFred –ppassword  –e “create database IP_Addresslist”;  where –u is the user, -p is the password and –e specifies the mysql command to run (in quotes).

I have tried many combinations including the one shown below but with no success.

$MySQLuser="-uFred "

$MySQLPW="-ppassword "

$MySQLcmd="-e `"create database IP_Addresslist`";"

invoke-Command -ComputerName SERVER1 -ScriptBlock {"\\SERVER1\c$\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\bin\mysql.exe " $using:MySQLuser,$using:MySQLPW,$using:MySQLcmd }

This particular command gives the following error message.

At E:\Programming\Powershell\Scripts\remote programming exercise.ps1:14 char:119

+ ... Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\bin\mysql.exe " $using:MySQLuser,$using: ...
