I would start by adding -a and -e after "psql".

IIRC Powershell is windows, and in windows shell do not pass command words
preparsed as in *ix to the executable, but a single command line with the
executable must parse. Given the amount of quoting, -a and -e will let you
see the commands are properly sent, and if it is trying to read something
what it is.

I will also try to substitute the -c with a pipe. If it heals, it is
probably a quoting issue.

Also, I just caught Ron's message, and psql might be waiting for a password.
