After updating NuGet to version 2.8.50313.31, opening the Package Manager Console displays a number of errors.
Is this a known issue with that (now current) version? Is there a fix/work-around?
If there is no fix, how does one revert to the previous version of NuGet?

It turns out that MvcScaffolding.1.0.6 is no longer referenced by any project in the solution.
Removing it from the NuGet command line
Uninstall-Package MvcScaffolding
resolved the issue.
There is currently version 1.0.9 of MvcScaffolding. The issue may be resolved in that version. However, since I no longer reference that package, I did not test that.

Things that were tried.
giving perminsions for the SqlServerAgent. Which readyshare will not let me do.
making the file path with powershell script name in to a bat file to be executed from the C: drive to get into the file path.
Notes:
This powershell script runs great from the command prompt by manually opening up cmd and executing. Even works great from the ISE (x86) manually.
However, when using this from a job you get the error listed above.
I have tried to get the readyshare drive to give SQLSeverAgent permissions but reverts back to original permissions. The router I have is a nightHawk router
and I didn't see any setting with in the router to give permissons either tried through Windows 10 but reverts back to original permissions.
Checked these suggestion from the message
The file name or path does not exist.
The file is being used by another program.
The workbook you are trying to save has the same name as a currently open workbook.
None applied.
Is there any work around or option I may not know about? Need some guidance or pointer in the right direction.

Could you please help me out?
A possible scenario is that you were testing and actually casted those variables like the error states. The error is not wrong. Those variables are not the list types that you have in your code. I can almost reproduce this issue:
PS M:\Scripts\Inno\Output> [int[]]$sumlist = 5,5
PS M:\Scripts\Inno\Output> $sumlist.GetType().Fullname
System.Int32[]
PS M:\Scripts\Inno\Output> $sumlist.Add(5)
Exception calling "Add" with "1" argument(s): "Collection was of a fixed size."

+ $sumlist.Add(5)
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : NotSupportedException
PS M:\Scripts\Inno\Output> $sumlist = New-Object System.Collections.Generic.List[int]
While I didn't get the same error as you the point is the type of the variable didn't change even though I tried to recasted it. That is because of property of the variable explained in this answer by PetSerAl. Have a look at the command Get-Variable sumlist | ft Name,Attributes and you should see System.Management.Automation.ArgumentTypeConverterAttribute. Removing the variable and starting again I get your expected behavior.
PS M:\Scripts\Inno\Output> Remove-Variable sumlist
PS M:\Scripts\Inno\Output> $sumlist = New-Object System.Collections.Generic.List[int]
PS M:\Scripts\Inno\Output> $sumlist.Add(5)

How can I get this command to work? I could not find any solutions or similar problems after ~15 min search.
The first exception you get is thrown by Set-Location cmdlet that for some reason is used in the Start-PsFCIV script. Set-Location expects a folder as its -LiteralPath argument but you pass it a file instead.
As per "Useful Examples" on the PsFCIV webpage the solution is to use -Include argument. Example:
Start-PsFCIV -Path C:\tmp -Include InstallPackage.msi -XML DB.XML -HashAlgorithm SHA512
# Checks only InstallPackage.msi file in C:\tmp folder by using SHA512 hash algorithm.
