Powershell script to update all users

Question

Okay I am half asleep, what did I do wrong with my powershell script (modified with I have just watched the A-Team in mind)

function update-fields () {
#Set up default variables

#My Site URL
$mySiteUrl = "http://cia-central"

#Get site objects and connect to User Profile Manager service
$site = Get-SPSite $mySiteUrl
$context = Get-SPServiceContext $site
$profileManager = New-Object Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.UserProfileManager($context) 
$profiles = $profileManager.GetEnumerator()

    foreach ($up in $profiles) {
        Write-Host $up["UserName"].Value
        $firstname = $up["UserName"].Value
        $up["FirstName"].Value = $firstname
        $up["LastName"].Value = "Lynch"
        $up["Role"].Value = "Operative"
        $up["Entity"].Value = "CIA"
        $up["WorkPhone"].Value = "01234 568 901"
        $up["EMail"].Value = $firstname + ".lynch@cia.com"
        $up.Commit()
    }
}

[Edit] Sorry thantos I thought I had included that, don't know what happened:

The profiles variable is coming back NULL from the profilemanager. But in my sleepyness I re read the error and the clue was there, I didn't have the account permissions.

"No user profile application available to service the request" I just didn't see this error the first 50 times running the script.

Done.
