You need to put LOCAL_VNC_CLIENT between quotes. So the line should bee:
ssh -f -L 127.0.0.1:$LOCAL_VNC_PORT:localhost:$REMOTE_VNC_SERVER_PORT $REMOTE_SSH_USER@$REMOTE_SSH_HOST x11vnc -safer -localhost -rfbport $REMOTE_VNC_SERVER_PORT -nopw -once -display :0 -timeout 60 -no6 -noipv6 && sleep 3 && "$LOCAL_VNC_CLIENT" 127.0.0.1:$LOCAL_VNC_PORT
