Invoke-Command and $using:ACL problem

Question

Hi,
Can anyone point me in the right direction.
I want to modify and ACL on a remote server, but i cannot assign a variable inside the invoke-command where i'm also refferencing an local variable.
When the first invoke-command is ran i get an error:
A Using variable cannot be retrieved. A Using variable can be used only with Invoke-Command, Start-Job, or InlineScript
in the script workflow. When it is used with Invoke-Command, the Using variable is valid only
if the script block is invoked on a remote computer.
$DriveFunctionDirectoryStructure="z:\projects\1"
Invoke-Command
-Session$s-ScriptBlock{$acl=get-acl$using:DriveFunctionDirectoryStructure}
Invoke-Command
-Session$s-ScriptBlock{$acl.SetAccessRuleProtection($using:True,$using:ToggleAccessRuleFlag)}
Invoke-Command
-Session$s-ScriptBlock{Start-Sleep-Seconds5}
Invoke-Command
-Session$s-ScriptBlock{$rule=New-ObjectSystem.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule("localdomain\$using:groupName","$using:AccessOption","ContainerInherit,
ObjectInherit","None","Allow")}
Invoke-Command
-Session$s-ScriptBlock{$acl.AddAccessRule($rule)}
Invoke-Command
-Session$s-ScriptBlock{Set-Acl$using:DriveFunctionDirectoryStructure$acl}

Hi RFalken,
you can use the -ArgumentList parameter of Invoke-Command like this:
$script = {
Param (
$Parameter1,
$Parameter2
Invoke-Command -ScriptBlock $script -ArgumentList @(2,42)
