And you have placed $DMZ_IF in the INTERFACE column in
/etc/shorewall/interface. So this the interfaces entry that gets
processed after variable expansion is:

dmz      vmbr2      -      routeback=1,proxyarp=1,required,wait=30

With that entry, the proper address variable is &vmbr2, not &DMZ_IF.

If you change your interfaces entry to:

dmz  DMZ_IF  -  routeback=1,proxyarp=1,required,wait=30,physical=$DMZ_IF

then &DMZ_IF will work.
