options+=($tab --title="${titles[i]}" -e "bash -ic \"${cmds[i]} ; bash\"" )
done
gnome-terminal "${options[@]}"
exit 0
The single quotes inside the double quotes are causing the entire string to be interpreted as the name of a command, whitespace and all, which of course does not work. Remove them and your script should work (albeit still somewhat awkwardly).
