how did you authenticate? Via Login-PoweBI ?

Very good question, I should have included that

Login-PowerBIServiceAccount

then when that came back successfully
Get-PowerBIWorkspace

which returned the error message

However,

I just tried
Login-PowerBI

and while it authenticates fine, I still get the same error when I issue the 
Get-PowerBIWorkspace 
command.
