'New-VM command fails when trying to clone from another VM

$sourceVM = get-vm -name LinuxBox

$referenceSnapshot = Get-Snapshot -VM "LinuxBox" -Name "snapshot1"

$myDatastore = Get-Datastore -Name datastore1

##$vmhost = Get-VMHost
##-ResourcePool $vmhost 

New-VM -Name LinuxTest -VM $sourceVM -LinkedClone -ReferenceSnapshot $referenceSnapshot -Datastore $myDatastore

Above is the code I am trying to use, below I have the error I am getting. I am connected to the ESX server already and all variables contain values. Any insight would be appreciated. ESXi version 6.0. 12.5.0. VMware.PowerCLI
