Indeed the variables are wrong

Almost, look at the below session in idle. The %s are replaced by the
variables servername and logname. See string formatting [1] for more
info.
>>> servername = 'testserver'
>>> logname = 'logname'
>>> print 'rosh -m %s -l %s' % (servername, logname)
rosh -m testserver -l logname
So you need to use something like below in your loop.
roshCommand = 'rosh -m %s -l %s' % (servername, logname)
os.system(roshCommand)
I do not see the servername variable being assigned a value in your
script so the above will fail. I assume it will be something like
logname = '/var/log/somelogfile'
You might want to look at the subprocess module as this gives you a
lot more control but is also more complicated.
