1) What do you mean by "$OUTPUT_FILE -gt 0" ?
In this way, you are just comparing the value of the variable ( i.e the path of the filename) with zero. which is wrong.
I guess, you want to compare the size of the file.

2) ">>" means you are appending to the file instead creating new file. if there is already existing file with that name, your count may go wrong.

3) [ ] itself used as a test operator. so no need of explicitly use of mentioning test keyword.

4) There is one useless use of cat too.

Try something like:

Code:

LOG_FILE=/var/adm/messages
export LOG_FILE
OUTPUT_FILE=/tmp/logerrors
export OUTPUT_FILE
grep -i error $LOG_FILE| wc -l > $OUTPUT_FILE
if [ -s "$OUTPUT_FILE" ];
then
        echo "Subject: BACKUP FAILED" >> $OUTPUT_FILE
        mailx  -s "BACKUP FAILED" johndoe@test.com < $OUTPUT_FILE
else
        mailx  -s "Sucessful RMAN backup" johndoe@test.com
fi
