You need to escape the characters which are having also some meaning in perl.

Code:
$DF1 = `bdf $FILESYSTEM1 \| awk -F " " '{ print \$3,\$4,\$5 }' \| xargs -i cut -f 3 -d " " {}`;

Try running it and if need escape the "{" and "}" also.
You also might not need to use -F in awk since the default field separator in awk is space/tabs.

Thanks @clk. Learnt a bit about Perl today, though the script is perhaps complicated by using Perl.
Suggested corrected bdf in post #2.
