I think if fails because the command runs as the first user (or as root)
and subsequent users can write to the output files in /tmp. Try this:
- name: vncserver command
shell: vncserver </tmp/file >"/tmp/vncpasswd.{{item}}.1" 2>"/tmp/
vncpasswd.{{item}}.2"
remote_user: "{{ item }}"
sudo: False
with_items:
vnc_users
