PHP Fixed it; thanks anyway!
A little bothered that this sat here for 19 hours without a response. I am assuming perhaps I did not give enough details to the issue.

Seems there was an issue with the piping I was using...

for reference; here is the corrected code:

gather_info () {
exec 3< $PHYSICALS_FILE
until [ $DONE ]; do
read <&3 LINE
if [[ $? != 0 ]]; then
DONE=1
continue
fi
exec >> final_report.log 2>&1
if [[ $? = 0 ]]; then
sudo ssh $LINE <<EOF
grep vmxCfgPath /etc/vmware/hostd/vmInventory.xml |cut -d '/' -f 5 >>/tmp/vm_list
cat /tmp/vm_list |sed 's/^/$LINE,/'

rm /tmp/vm_list
exit
EOF
fi
done
}
