Unable to move-mailbox cross forest.

Hi,
I am using the following below, but keep getting an error of:
Move-Mailbox : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name '-'.
At line:1 char:13

I believe my credentials are fine as I can issue the command below for both source and target servers.
Get-Mailbox -DomainController server.domain.com -Credential $S -Identity jsmith

Move-Mailbox -TargetDatabase "mailcluster\First Storage Group\Mailbox Database" -Identity jsmith -GlobalCatalog target.domain.com -SourceForestGlobalCatalog source.domain.com -NTAccountOU "OU=Users,DC=domain,DC=com" -SourceForestCredential $S -TargetForestCredential $t -DomainController source.domain.com -SourceMailboxCleanupOptions none -PreserveMailboxSizeLimit -IgnorePolicyMatch

I’m guessing it cannot read my database on the target server. I tried using both the mailcluster name and the actually server names.

Thanks
David

the target database must be in the format exchvirserver\sg\md

here is the path I am using in my original post.
mailcluster\First Storage Group\Mailbox Database

real servers are exch01 and exch02

Thanks Much. Moving the -identity jsmith to the position right after move-mailbox fixed the issue.

Thanks Again
