Local fix

Problem summary

• When a fileset is in deleteRequired state, a blank character is
  missing between the "latest:"string and the snapshot name if
  it is too long, thus leading to parsing issues on the snapshot
  name from the output of mmlsfileset command.
  

Problem conclusion

• Benefits of the solution:
  Aligning the output format of mthe mlsfileset command when
  a fileset is in deleteRequired state, will resolve the parser
  script
  on the output of mmlsfileset command.

  A fileset is in deleteRequired state and a global snapshot
  contains this fileset with a long snapshot name.
  Symptom: Error output
