Answer to my own question. You can use the -name switch with $_.name parameter and it creates the job called the unique pst file name!

Thanks again for everyones help. One question though - if an import was to fail, say by a corrupt PST, is there any way of knowing which pst caused the problem during the import?

Ill respond back after the files have copied to the local server network and let you know how it went.

I have a number of PST files on a drive, in a degree of sub folders. The PST files run into 100's. I want to be able to PowerShell these back into a single mailbox for searching for a few emails. I have a clean Exchange 2010 server with the latest service packs, and wondered whats going to be the best way to achieve this. I'm assuming that new-mailboximportrequest -user mailuser -filepath \\server\pstshare\*.pst<file:///\\server\pstshare\*.pst> isn't going to work.
