I have an MVC 4 web app with VS2012, msbuild and am creating a build script with psake. I've created a publish profile in VS that packages up the project into a zip file. Running it from within VS works fine. However, running it from the command line, I get the following error:

I have Web Deploy 3.5 installed on the box via WebPI. Any idea on how I can resolve this issue? The relevant section of the build script is as follows:
task package -depends test {
$csprojFile = "$solution_dir\$consumer\$consumer.csproj";
exec{ msbuild $csprojFile /t:Package /p:Platform=AnyCPU /p:Configuration=$config /v:q }
}
