Like it or not, we live in a world where Papers speak before you get
a chance to express your self.It is not always the case that when one
applies for a job, they are already known by the recruitment team.
Most times the reverse is true.

My problem is not with papers. I am simply asking whether particularly
for the post of a systems administrator, a masters is a relevant
qualification. I would understand if you were saying "Technical
Manager", Assistant manager, Systems manager or any of the various
titles bestowed upon those who move from the gritty hands on systems
admin tasks to the managerial realm but its hard to figure out what a
guy whose job I presume may be to run commands, write scripts,
troubleshoot issues, present availability reports and do some capacity
planning needs a masters degree for.
It depends on the organizational hierarchy and consequently, salary
structure of some companies.
Out of - for example, Grade 0 to Grade 8 (from lowest paid to highest
paid), the salary of this particular company's sysadmin may be at Grade 6,
where one must have a masters degree as a minimum requirement to be in that
Grade.
It may have absolutely nothing to do with his/her day to day tasks though
as you said. The final chosen candidate may even have a Masters degree in
Music, Dance & Drama, plus shell scripting expertise.
