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
}

xsil2graphics

XSIL2GRAPHICS(1)					User Contributed Perl Documentation					  XSIL2GRAPHICS(1)

NAME

       xsil2graphics - generate scripts to load xsil output data files

SYNOPSIS

       xsil2graphics [options] <xsil_file>

DESCRIPTION

       Utility program bundled with xmds, used to generate scripts that load simulation output data into either matlab (http://www.mathworks.com)
       or scilab (http://www.scilab.org), which are then used to manipulate the results further if necessary and then to present the results
       graphically.

       Matlab

       To generate a matlab m-file, from the xsil file data_file.xsil use the command:

       bash$ xsil2graphics data_file.xsil

       or

       bash$ xsil2graphics --matlab data_file.xsil

       Then at the matlab command prompt:

       >> data_file

       Scilab

       To generate a scilab script file, from the xsil file data_file.xsil use the command:

       bash$ xsil2graphics --scilab data_file.xsil

       Then at the scilab command prompt:

       --> exec('data_file.sci')

OPTIONS

       -m, --matlab generate matlab m-file script to load data from the xsil data file (the default option)

       -s, -scilab generate scilab script file to load data from the xsil data file

       -o, --outfile <out_file> specify an alternative output script filename to the default which is the input xsil filename with the .xsil
       extension changed to either .m for the matlab m-file or .sci for the scilab script file

EXAMPLES

       bash$ xsil2graphics nlse.xsil

       Generates the output nlse.m to load the data into matlab

       bash$ xsil2graphics -m nlse.xsil

       Also generates the output nlse.m but explicitly sets matlab to be the output format

       bash$ xsil2graphics --scilab nlse.xsil

       Generates the output nlse.sci to load the data into scilab

       bash$ xsil2graphics --outfile nlse_new.m nlse.xsil

       Generates the output nlse_new.m to load the data into matlab
