how to pass a powershell script file to a job created using "start-job" cmdlet

i have script file takes 2 machine names, port number , few other parameters. script runs ntttcp tool between 2 machines. want multiple combinations of machines run in parallel . created a job within loop passing script file,machine pair as parameters can have more 1 machine pair running in parallel.

my code snippet looks this:

foreach($exclusivemachinepairkey in $htbl_exclusivemachinepairs.keys)
    {
        $jobname = $exclusivemachinepairkey+"and"+$htbl_exclusivemachinepairs[$exclusivemachinepairkey]
        $alljobnames=$alljobnames+$jobname
        $jobobj=start-job -filepath d:\powersh\functions\ntttcpstarterscript.ps1 -argumentlist $exclusivemachinepairkey $htbl_exclusivemachinepairs[$exclusivemachinepairkey] $inputport $inputthreadcount $filename -name $jobname     
    }

when running in debug mode, on passing "start-job" line, see error message:

[dbg]>>> stopped at: if ($_.fullyqualifiederrorid -ne "nativecommanderrormessage" -and $errorview -ne "categoryview") {
start-job : cannot bind parameter 'initializationscript'. cannot convert "fds-320-k27

   n
    + fullyqualifiederrorid : cannotconvertargumentnomessage,microsoft.powershell.comman
   ds.startjobcommand

 

what doing wrong? please.
