There are several Things that could be wrong here:

  • Does the WCF service have the required rights to run the PowerShell command?
  • Will the PowerShell command be executed in the correct Directory?
  • Should the conncatination be done before the start command?

Having said that, this is not a good idea, you are opening Your machine to attackers to run any PowerShell script they want.
