"date" is a reserved SQL word. And you have to remove the quotation marks.
select filespace_name,hl_name,ll_name,date(archive_date) as Adate, class_name from archives where node_name='CS-NICE-STORAGE' and archive_date>'06/30/2005' order by Adate should do the trick.

I am trying to get the file info. but it all comes down to the date. I just want to report on the date that the data was archived before 6/3/2005, but I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. Any suggestions?
