Does it work with just the simple DF command? I've not gotten to the point I can troubleshoot that complex command very well as well, but I've been able to work around it by using a simpler command line.

Excellent suggestion to test first with a very simple command like df to check that the authentication is setup correctly.

Then I would try running zencommand standalone in debug and checking the output.  You don't say whether you are on Zenoss 4.x or earlier, or on 5 or 6 (the dockerized versions).  If on Zenoss 4 or less, from a command line, for  a device called fred.class.example.org, use:

zencommand run -v 10 -d fred.class.example.org --showfullcommand > /tmp/fred 2>&1

then check /tmp/fred.  The --showfullcommand should reveal the exact command sent, complete with parameter substitution.  It's almost certainly a glitch with parameter substitution, quoting or special characters in the bash command, once you have eliminated basic authentication issues.

If you are on a Zenoss 5 or 6, you will need to attach to the zencommand container first with:

serviced service attach zencommand su - zenoss

Cheers,
Jane
