Fetch seems to see local files that aren't there (2 posts)

I'd agree that testing for the existence of local files is out of Fetch's scope, and I'd recommend using the Finder for that.
Thanks,

Into a local TempFiles folder I put one file. Both Fetch and Finder can see that file and return true to an 'exists' test.
However, it seems that Fetch <i>also returns true</i> to an 'exists' test for a file that is <i>not</i> in that folder.
Could this be a bug? Perhaps 'exists' testing for a local file is out of Fetch's scope?

From the Event Log:
tell application "Finder"
exists file "MBProHD:Users:gil:Gil's Stuff:Projects:MCCV:Calendar:AppleScripts:TempFiles:GilTEST.htm"
--> true
exists file "MBProHD:Users:gil:Gil's Stuff:Projects:MCCV:Calendar:AppleScripts:TempFiles:GilTEST1.htm"
--> false
end tell
tell application "Fetch"
exists file "MBProHD:Users:gil:Gil's Stuff:Projects:MCCV:Calendar:AppleScripts:TempFiles:GilTEST.htm"
--> true
exists file "MBProHD:Users:gil:Gil's Stuff:Projects:MCCV:Calendar:AppleScripts:TempFiles:GilTEST1.htm"
--> true
end tell
