Setting EX2007 mailbox permissions with Exchange Management Shell not reflected in Exchange Management Console

Question

Hello,
I'm trying to use PowerShell to script some mailbox permissions.  The mailbox permissions I set in the shell are not displaying in the EMC.  The command I'm using is:
add-MailboxPermission -accessrights fullaccess -identity $username -user MYDOMAIN\$supervisor -confirm:$false
I get confirmation from the shell:
Identity             User                 AccessRights                                               
IsInherited Deny
MyDomain.net/Separa... MYDOMAIN\mysupervisor    {FullAccess}                                               
False       False
Afterwards, when I look in the Exchange Management Console for this user (Right click, Manage Full Access), even after allowing time for replication, I don't see this new permission reflected there.  But If I use Get-MailboxPermission
$username, the permissions show up:
Identity             User                 AccessRights                                               
IsInherited Deny
MyDomain.net/Separa... MYDOMAIN\mysupervisor    {FullAccess}                                               
False       False
Why is this addition not being reflected in the shell?

Hi,
The cmdlet you use to grant full access permission is right. If your case, please let "mysupervisor" access to this user's mailbox and verify if he/she can access it. Maybe Exchange Management Console has not been updated well.
Hope this can be helpful to you.
Best regards,
