Update custom user profile properties - Powershell - SharePoint

Having problem updating custom user profile properties. Anyone with the same problem, code below:

[void][reflection.assembly]::Loadwithpartialname("Microsoft.Office.Server");            
$site=new-object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite("$ProfilFullURL");            
$serviceContext = Get-SPServiceContext $site;            
$site.Dispose();            
$upm = new-object Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.UserProfileManager($serviceContext);

function Update-UserProfileProperty ($property, $excelProperty)
{
Write-Host "Setting property $property : " -NoNewline
Try
{       
    $userProfile["$property"].Value = $excelProperty;            
    $userProfile.Commit()
    Write-Host "$excelProperty" -ForegroundColor Green
}
Catch [system.exception]
{
    Write-Host "Error" -ForegroundColor Red
}
}

What I'm trying to do is to add migrate data from a excel spreadsheet into the custom user profile property. The user and property exist!

The code works with standard properties like FirstName etc.

One item that jumps out is that you're disposing of your SPSite object before your code has opportunity to make use of it. Move ' $site.Dispose(); ' to the end of your code block.
