[Xymon] odd "failure" for file exists

[Galen Johnson]

I do have 2 servers but I'm not having this problem with any other test
(even the other files test).  I rechecked to verify that they both had a
unique "id" and they do so unless xymon is ignoring that for this test (for
some reason) I am clueless.  It's also strange that it's only this
pattern,  I had a different process core on different machine and it worked
as expected.  I'm stymied.
