Using the Exact Match feature of "grep" we can avoid accidental matches such as 6.3.07 . In this context the exit code from "grep" will be either zero (success) or one (string not found).

Code:
/opt/dell/srvadmin/sbin/omreport about | grep -qx 'Version : 6.3.0' ; REPLY=$?
exit ${REPLY}

try this:
Code:
VAR1=$(/opt/dell/srvadmin/sbin/omreport about | cut -f2 -d ":" | sed 's/.* //')
echo "Version is: ${VAR1}"
if [ "${VAR1}" == "6.3.0" ] ; then exit 0 ; else exit 1; fi

The error message is about unmatched quotes of some sort.
If you can't see the error, please post the whole script Dell_OMSA_6_30 .
