The problem I bet is that the Powershell process continutes to run after executing the script. This means it has not exited and therefore there is no exit code. I'm having a similar problem when trying to run a Powershell script from C# that does stuff when finished, except it never finishes...

Hacky, but the only solution I've found is to put Stop-Process -processname powershell at the end of the .ps1 script. This kills off the PowerShell process (and all PowerShell windows you have open unfortunately) but seems to work. Might work for your script as well.
