Simple PowerShell LastWriteTime compare

Try the following.

$d = [datetime](Get-ItemProperty -Path $source -Name LastWriteTime).lastwritetime

This is part of the item property weirdness. When you run Get-ItemProperty it does not return the value but instead the property. You have to use one more level of indirection to get to the value.
