Normally zsh doesn't split the result of variable expansion into
separate words. You can enable that for your function by adding the
following line to it:
setopt local_options sh_word_split
Enabling the local_options option will cause other options set within
the function to be returned to their original state when the function
returns. The sh_word_split option will cause the results of expanding
your $cmd variable to be split into words before evaluating that line,
allowing it to be used as you intended.
Another option would be to use ${=cmd} in place of just $cmd when you
attempt to run that command. That will cause word splitting to be done
in that case only.
