I don't understand your problem, I just tried the same thing with a 
custom environment variable, and it worked.

`M-! file $ROOTSYS/build/version_number RET'

returns,

/home/suvayu/root/build/version_number: ASCII text

`M-x ffap' prompts me for,

Find file or URL: ~/root/build/version_number

and on `RET' opens the file showing its contents. Are you sure your 
environment is setup correctly?
