Simply change the double quotes around the $(...) to single quotes (and
anywhere else affected by the change in quotation marks, of course).  With
the double quotes, the $(...) is getting evaluated straight away; with
single quotes it will be stored as a complete string, and expanded
separately each time.  At least, it looks that simple...
