You can fix this by running all of the commands together in a single
ovs-vsctl invocation, separated by --.

But it's easier to use the ovs-vsctl commands for creating and
modifying ports, e.g.:

ovs-vsctl -- add-port ${INT_BR} GRE-${1} tag=${VLANTAG} \
	  -- set interface GRE-${1} type=gre options="local_ip=${BLADEIP},remote_ip=${1}"

The ovs-vsctl manpage has a number of examples toward the end.
