Hi Marc,
I'd use a pre-translation TCL/Python script to test for the files.
The fragment of TCL code I would use to test for file existence is...
if {![file exists $inputFilename]} {
error "File does not exist"
}
...the error command will both write to the log file (I think) and
cause the FME translation to be terminated (I know).
To use this code within a mapping file (which you seem to be using)
add the line...
FME_BEGIN_TCL <tcl script>
...where <tcl script> is the path+name of a TCL script.
In FME2007 you can embed the script into the mapping file - but it's
not simple (unless you use Workbench)...
FME_BEGIN_TCL FME_Decode
<lf>if<space><opencurly>!<openbracket>file<space>exists<space><dollar>inputFilename<closebracket><closecurly><space><opencurly><lf><tab>error<space><quote>File<space>does<space>not<space>exist<quote><lf><tab><closecurly>
Anyway, this fmepedia page will give you more information...

Hope this helps,
