This is a shell quoting problem. I'm currently not aware of any way to 
let bash do another round of 'quote' parameter grouping inside $VDRCMD, 
variants like \"...\" and \'...\' also don't work.

The easiest way to fix this (if you don't want to use su root -c 
"$VDRCMD") is to use eval instead:

while (true) do
       eval "$VDRCMD"
