Config Manager PowerShell Provider fails to pass network objects

I am trying to run the import-CMTaskSequence SCCM 2012 SP1 Powershell cmdlet to import my previously exported OS Task Sequence.

I have created a network share, and imported the correct powershell module, and started the x86 instance of Powershell, however when I change the path to the SCCM Site Powershell drive path ( in my case the site is CHQ ), I am no longer able to access files over the network.

C:\Windows\system32>dir \\cm1\exports$\CM_win8TS.zip
 Volume in drive \\cm1\exports$ is Hydration
 Volume Serial Number is 040E-7232

 Directory of \\cm1\exports$

I went and evaluated the log file at: "c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Configuration Manager\AdminConsole\AdminUILog\CMSitePSProvider.log" and I see the following:

5/14/2013 10:25:06 PM: CMSitePowerShellProvider Verbose: 1 : Checking if item \\cm1.corp.contoso.com\exports$\CM_win8TS.zip exists.
5/14/2013 10:25:06 PM: CMSitePowerShellProvider Error: 1 : Drive information not found.

This seems like a chicken and the egg problem.

Import-CMTaskSequence requires that I import from a network share while called from the PSDrive of the Site, however the PSDrive Provider of the site, doesn't know how to parse network shares when passed in.

Anyone else know how this works, or is it just my Configuration?

Thanks in advance, Keith
