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.
