If you want non-existing/unreadable files to be skipped, you can configure org-agenda-skip-unavailable-files to a non-nil value. That option unfortunately isn't mentioned in the manual or the docstring of the org-agenda-files option. If anyone is interested, a patch improving the documentation would of course be appreciated.
