TFS2013 Build Definition Error while executing postbuild Powershell script

I'm getting an error like this, while using the script from build definition(custom SSIS template):

Used the script given in this location: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/visualstudioalm/archive/2013/07/24/basic-tfbuild-scripts.aspx

This is the Error message:

**"The argument '$/path/GatherItemsForDrop.ps1' to the -File parameter does not exist. Provide the path to an existing '.ps1' file as an argument to the -File parameter."

Exception Message: TF270015: 'GatherItemsForDrop.ps1' returned an unexpected exit code. Expected '0'; actual '-196608'. See the build logs for more details. (type UnexpectedExitCodeException) Exception Stack Trace: at System.Activities.Statements.Throw.Execute(CodeActivityContext context) at System.Activities.CodeActivity.InternalExecute(ActivityInstance instance, ActivityExecutor executor, BookmarkManager bookmarkManager) at System.Activities.Runtime.ActivityExecutor.ExecuteActivityWorkItem.ExecuteBody(ActivityExecutor executor, BookmarkManager bookmarkManager, Location resultLocation)**

Any thoughts on this? Thanks in Advance.

** Updated - Adding Build Log with PS part**

Perform Final Actions On Agent 00:00

Copy binaries to drop 00:00

Reset the Environment 00:03

Sequence 00:03

Run optional script after MSBuild The argument '$/path/GatherItemsForDrop.ps1' to the -File parameter does not exist. Provide the path to an existing '.ps1' file as an argument to the -File parameter. Exception Message: TF270015: 'GatherItemsForDrop.ps1' returned an unexpected exit code. Expected '0'; actual '-196608'. See the build logs for more details. (type UnexpectedExitCodeException) Exception Stack Trace: at System.Activities.Statements.Throw.Execute(CodeActivityContext context) at System.Activities.CodeActivity.InternalExecute(ActivityInstance instance, ActivityExecutor executor, BookmarkManager bookmarkManager) at System.Activities.Runtime.ActivityExecutor.ExecuteActivityWorkItem.ExecuteBody(ActivityExecutor executor, BookmarkManager bookmarkManager, Location resultLocation)

Note: Both the PS script as well as SSIS Solution is in the same folder in TFS.

Only This much info available. :( .. Thanks

The build system cant find the file. Check that it is checked in to that location and that it is in scope for the build.
