I changed: if($fileName -and !(Split-Path $fileName)) to: if($fileName -ne $null -and (Split-Path $fileName) -ne $null) which worked. I prefer specifying things in this way as I believe they are also easier to read. Comments in the script would also have been nice for this of us newer to PS than others!

I changed:

if($fileName -and !(Split-Path $fileName))

to:

if($fileName -ne $null -and (Split-Path $fileName) -ne $null)

which worked. I prefer specifying things in this way as I believe they are also easier to read.
