IMO shell interpret "(word)" as command list for execution in subshell,
but because You have not command separator before this construct, it's
taken as error.
But because You expect give this to sendfax command, it's necessary

/usr/bin/sendfax -D -f me@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -h 10.1.2.3 -n -s a4 \
-d \(PHONE\) \(TMP\)
