Create Library with PowerShell

Question

I want to create libraries in SharePoint 2010 using PowerShell. So far, so good.

I'm using this chunk of code to create the library (actually list, but that doesn't matter)

    $listTemplate = $currentWeb.ListTemplates | ? {$_.name -eq $webTemplate }
    $newListId = $currentWeb.Lists.Add($line.Url, $line.Description, $listTemplate)
    $newList = $currentWeb.Lists[$newListId]
    $newList.Title = $line.Library
    $newList.OnQuickLaunch = $addToQuickLaunch
    $newList.Update()

But for some strange reason the (display) title of my library doesn't get set to whatever is in $line.Library.

Any hints?

Use a 'Start-SPAssignment/Stop-SPAssignment' pair around your code block. More on Start_SPAssignment here.
