Import-VM from WS2012 Hyper-V PowerShell not working

i'm following reference:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh848495.aspx

to import vm via powershell.  when try it, following:

ps c:\users\xxx> $vm = import-vm -path "v:\cloningmasters\602\ws2012vmdc" -copy -generatenewid
import-vm : operation failed because file not found.
at line:1 char:7
+ $vm = import-vm -path "v:\cloningmasters\602\ws2012vmdc" -copy -generatenewid
+       ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + categoryinfo          : objectnotfound: (:) [import-vm], ioexception
    + fullyqualifiederrorid : devicenotfound,microsoft.hyperv.powershell.commands.importvmcommand

the weird thing if go manually using wizard, path works fine.  any pointers?

your source must actual xml configuration file, not folder in gui.
