Problems running remote powershell script using cake-build

Question

I am trying to execute the following test.ps1script

param([string]$name,[string]$password);
write-Output "Hello $($name) my password is  $($password)";
dir c:\
New-Item c:\HRTemp\test.txt -ItemType file

on the remote server using the following command

StartPowershellScript("Invoke-Command", args =>
{
    args.Append("ScriptBlock", "{{c:\\test.ps1 -name dato -password test}}" );
});

I managed to successfully call this command from the command line, and now I want to use the same with a cake script.

I am using Cake.Powershell addin.

When I try to execute it with one curly brace {c:\\test.ps1 -name dato -password test}, I get an error message:

Error: Input string was not in a correct format.

When I try to use two curly braces

{{c:\\test.ps1 -name dato -password test}}

the conclusion is as follows

Executing: Invoke-Command -ScriptBlock {{c:\test.ps1 -name dato -password test}}

but when I check on the remote server, the test.txt file is not created.

Do you have any idea why this is happening?
