What I want to do is something like:

NEW_FNAME=$(echo $i | sed -e 's/^100/`date +%Y%m%d`/')
This is where the trouble comes in. I can't see a way to accomplish this. Anybody have any ideas? I guess I could turn the problem around and grab the numerical part on the right side of the _ with sed and then concatenate the date to that. However, if this is a way to work a variable into sed, that would be great. Any ideas?
Use double quotes instead;
... | sed -e "s/^100/$(date +%Y%m%d)/"
