Batch script calling powershell script - powershell

Question

I have a powershell script gather_objects_from_csv.ps1 which is being scheduled through cmd. I'm using this command:
powershell.exe -noexit "& 'e:\admin\gather_objects_from_csv.ps1'"
to call the powershell script, but it's throwing error for the line in the script
# create an empty hash which will hold a number of smaller hashes, of member details supplied in the csv, then piped to nw_sync_employees_8.ps1
$employees_list = #{}
# import the config.xml file containing the relevant user data, username/password etc...
$config = Import-CliXML nw-config.xml
# import some detail from the "normal" Newsweaver config file
$API_user = $config["API_USER"]
$API_user_password = $config["API_PASSWORD"]
$USE_PROXY = $config["USE_PROXY"]
$verboseMode = $config["VERBOSE_MODE"]
$account_code = $config["ACCOUNT_CODE"]
$source_file = $config["CSV_PATH"]
# check to see if the source file actually exists first
if (-Not (Test-Path $source_file)) {
# if the source file can't be found, there isn't much value in continuing
Write-Host -foregroundcolor red "Could not find specified source file. Check the path, permissions or location of source file specified: " $source_file
Exit
}
# import the source file with a specified delimiter (it is a comma as it is a CSV file which is being imported)
# pipe "|" the csv to a forEach - Object loop to iterate throught the file row by row
$HashTableData = Import-CSV $source_file -Delimiter ',' |`
# ForEach - Object - iterates over each row of the csv
ForEach-Object {
# Empty hash $memberDetails, this will be populated with the information from the csv
$memberDetails = #{}
$EmployeeID = "$($_.EmployeeID)".Trim()
$FirstName = "$($_.LegalFirstName)".Trim()
$LastName = "$($_.LegalLastName)".Trim()
$LegalNameinGeneralDisplayFormat = "$($_.LegalNameinGeneralDisplayFormat)".Trim()
$LegalNameinLocalScript = "$($_.LegalNameinLocalScript)".Trim()
#set the email address as the key for the hashtable $employees_list
#and the value of this "hash of hashes" is the hash table created above ie. memberDetails (csv information)
$employees_list.Set_Item("$($Email)", $memberDetails)
}
# pass/ pipe the hash called $employees_list to the nw_sync script with the relevant parameters
$employees_list | ./nw_sync_employees.ps1 -account_code $account_code -password $API_user_password -user $API_user -permission 'All'
exit

powershell script is calling another ps script located in the same folder. When ran through powershell terminal, the same script is not throwing any error. But when I'm trying to call it through commandline it is throwing error.

This line in the .bat works for me :
Powershell.exe "D:\myfolder\myfile.ps1"
with Administrator rights.
