Did I say something against 3270 terminals yesterday?  If you
don't use a 3270, you don't have any command length problem.

Bizarre, but you might try:

chmod 644 /u/emedtest/nfstst/fsit/prov/caqh/$(
    )20101105/RosterException_20101105.txt

... not chmod-specific; this sort of lexical resolution is
performed by shell.
