According to the output from CAML Designer (created by Karine Bosch and Andy Van Steenbergen and distributed by the Belux Information Worker User Group) the correct CAML syntax is:

  
    
    0
  


  

I tested this in PowerShell and got the expected result:

$qry = new-object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPQuery
$qry.Query = "0"

$items = $lib.GetItems($qry)
$items.Count

You can replace the tag in the CAML with the SPQuery object property ViewAttributes if you prefer, ie $qry.ViewAttributes = “Scope=’RecursiveAll’".

When testing this be sure to re-instantiate the SPQuery object each time as you cannot simple reassign the Query property. Once the query has been executed, any new value assigned to the Query property is ignored. So execute the entire PowerShell fragment.
