'NaN' is not a valid RPN symbol in RRDTool.  You should use UNKN instead.
Also watch out for typos like embedded spaces or doubled commas.

CDEF:vmax=rawmax,85,EQ,UNKN,rawmax,IF

This will convert 85 into unknown.  However, with this value potentially
being a non-integer, due to Data Normalisation, the test may never return
true (as 85.00001 is not equal to 85).  Maybe instead try...

CDEF:vmax=rawmax,85,GE,rawmax,86,LT,AND,UNKN,rawmax,IF

Though, I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve by only excluding value
85.
