@ works fine in BASH, it's your application that throws up. What exact application are you launching? Whose implementation of VNC on what system?

Since this looks like a URL, does it support URL encoding, i.e. could you put %40 instead?

xvnc

XVNC(1) 						      General Commands Manual							   XVNC(1)

NAME

       Xvnc - a VNC server

SYNOPSIS

       Xvnc   [-rfbport  port]	[-rfbwait  time]  [-nocursor] [-rfbauth passwd-file] [-httpd dir] [-httpport port] [-deferupdate time] [-economic-
	      translate] [-lazytight] [-desktop name] [-alwaysshared] [-nevershared] [-dontdisconnect] [-localhost] [-interface  ipaddr]  [-inetd]
	      [-compatiblekbd] [X-options...]

DESCRIPTION

       Xvnc  is  a  VNC  (Virtual  Network  Computing) server.	It acts like an X server with a virtual display.  The display can be seen by a VNC
       viewer application, which may be running on a different machine: see vncviewer(1).

       It is built inside the source code tree of XFree86, and shares many options with it.

       Note that if you are going to use VNC  on  an  untrusted  network,  you	will  need  to	use  SSH  to  prevent  unauthorised  access.   See
       <URL:http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/sshvnc.html> for details.

OPTIONS

       The VNC-specific options are as follows:

       -rfbport port
	      TCP port for RFB protocol.

       -rfbwait time
	      Maximum time, in milliseconds, to wait for RFB client.

       -nocursor
	      Don't put up a cursor.

       -rfbauth passwd-file
	      Use authentication on RFB protocol from specified file; see vncpasswd(1).

       -httpd dir
	      Serve files via HTTP from here.

       -httpport port
	      Port for HTTP.

       -deferupdate time
	      Time, in milliseconds, to defer updates (default 40).

       -economictranslate
	      Use less memory-hungry translation.

       -lazytight
	      Disable "gradient" filter in tight encoding.

       -desktop name
	      Set VNC desktop name (default x11).

       -alwaysshared
	      Always treat new clients as shared.

       -nevershared
	      Never treat new clients as shared.

       -dontdisconnect
	      Don't disconnect existing clients when a new non-shared connection comes in (refuse new connection instead).

       -localhost
	      Only allow connections from localhost.

       -interface ipaddr
	      Only bind to the interface with given ipaddr.

       -inetd Xvnc is launched by inetd.

       -compatiblekbd
	      Set META key = ALT key, as in the original (AT&T) version of Xvnc.
