It's incredibly easy to write a Nagios plugin.  The only major 
requirement is that it return a valid error code so that Nagios can 
interpret the results.  Something like this would work:

-- start check_file.sh --
#!/bin/sh

# $1 = Full path of filename to watch for

$ERRORCODE=0

if [ -e $1 ]; then
   $ERRORCODE=1
fi

exit $ERRORCODE
-- end check_file.sh --
