& has special meaning to the shell and must be quoted or escaped. The above line says run the command "./remove_members icrc somemember@someplace.edu" in the background and then run nbsp in the forground.

The "[1] 11103" is the job ID and PID of the background job which presumably ran normally and removed somemember@someplace.edu from the list. "-bash: nbsp: command not found" is the response to the "nbsp" command. You need to give the command as

./remove_members icrc somemember@someplace.edu\ 

or

./remove_members icrc "somemember@someplace.edu "

or

./remove_members icrc 'somemember@someplace.edu '

The list owner removed them from the list, but they still show up on the server. Will this cause more bounces and then disable the accounts?

If the bounce processing settings are appropriate for the list traffic.
