[Xymon] odd "failure" for file exists

[Galen Johnson]

Actually, I have to correct myself...it's flapping and now I need to figure
out why since that is a different problem.  To your point, Paul, that is
essentially exactly what I have (obviously with different paths).  I
suspect now it has to do with 'fetch'.

For example, in client-local.cfg:
file:`find /var/lib/systemd/coredump/ -maxdepth 1 -type f`

and analysis.cfg
FILE %/var/lib/systemd/coredump/core.* red NOEXIST

I may eventually change that to yellow but I just added a new app to the
systems and it was supposed to behave :-).
