Power Shell Remoting $Using variable scope

Question

I have folder c:\test where I have three files: “file1”, “file2”, “file3”
Following script:
$remoteSession = New-PSSession -ComputerName localhost
$folder = "c:\test"
$exclude =@("c:\test\file1","c:\test\file2")
Invoke-Command -Session $remoteSession -ScriptBlock {
#$Using:exclude
Get-ChildItem -Path $Using:folder -recurse | Where {$Using:exclude -notcontains $_.FullName}
Remove-PSSession $remoteSession
Gives the result: file1,file2,file3
Clearly it seems that However, if I uncomment “$Using:exclude” I get the result: See
file3
Suddenly exclude list starts working properly

Hi Anna
Can you please check if this is a bug with powershell ?
Please note that uncomment 
#$Using:excludethen PowerShell starts working .Please also note that $Using:exclude has been used in next statement so according to documentation it should works
