Neither the TSO=YES or TSO=NO environments support UNIX System Services host commands.

That doesn't exactly explain why the lack of support should result in that RACF error, but it sounds like you are out of luck.

Time for a requirement?

Thanks, Patrick! I looked all over the place for that "official" statement! I've had a PMR opened with IBM since yesterday and even they haven't even been able to tell me this yet!

It appears that System REXX does not completely or properly propagate identity/security information to its "worker" TCBs or address spaces. Instead of leveraging the existing WLM services -- used by the likes of Websphere -- in its design, the System REXX developers decided to use a "roll your own" multi-address space server approach. This total lack of support for z/OS UNIX services looks to be an unfortunate outcome of that questionable decision. :-(
