Since your using RHEL, would you know the actual directory or this file?
if so, why not use unix?

[george@alpha]$ ls /usr/hello
ls: /usr/hello: No such file or directory
[george@alpha]$ ls /bin/rm
/bin/rm

Or you could write a short script that uses the -f flag, and returns a YES or NO
this way, you don't have to worry about the OS changing the wording of an error.

if [ -f $1 ] ; then
   echo "YES"
else
   echo "NO"
fi
