No Get-NaLun data returned in DataOnTap scripts

I am having trouble with several PowerShell scripts when it comes to getting data from the Get-NaLun routine. It seems like the routine is not populating the variable when called in my case.

Most of the scripts I have saved from this site have the following line in them:

$LunList = Get-NaLun

Later in the scripts they use code like this:

Foreach ($LUN in $LunList)
             {     $Sour=$LUN.Path
                   Write-Host "Sour: " $Sour
                   $spath = $Sour.Split("/")

if ($spath[2].equals($vol.name))

---> etc

I added the code in bold to see if anything is ever set in the variable and I always get a null value.

I am able to get plenty of other information from the NetApp and the credentials allow me to get in with no problems. The error messages I get are always:

Sour:
You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression.

+                         $spath = $Sour.Split <<<< ("/")
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (Split:String) [], RuntimeExce

Cannot index into a null array.

    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (2:Int32) [], RuntimeException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NullArray

Sour:

Any idea why this is happening?

Ok, here is what happened.

The NetApp filer I was given to test on did not have any freakin' LUNs.

Great.
