loop doesnt work

It just does the break...even though the files are not the same...

Code:
 
# Compare extracts
        #==========================================
       
     count=0
     while (( count < 5 ))
     do
         (( count+=1 ))
         echo "Try $count"
         file1=$(ls -l /tmp/psjava.xml| awk '{print $1,$2}')
         file2=$(ls -l /tmp/dbextract.txt| awk '{print $1,$2}') 
         if (( count >= 5 ))
         then
           echo "Too many retries"
           echo "Please check source why the files dont match "
           exit 1
         fi    
            
         if [ "$file1" != "$file2" ]
         then
              echo "File1 and File2 don't match. I will sleep 30 seconds and try again. 5 tries is my limit."
       sleep 30
       else
              echo "File1 and File2 match."
              break 
         fi
 done

XmScrollVisible(3X)													       XmScrollVisible(3X)

NAME
XmScrollVisible - A ScrolledWindow function that makes an invisible descendant of a ScrolledWindow work area visible SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/ScrolledW.h> void XmScrollVisible (scrollw_widget, widget, left_right_margin, top_bottom_margin) Widget scrollw_widget; Widget widget; Dimension left_right_margin; Dimension top_bottom_margin; DESCRIPTION
XmScrollVisible makes an obscured or partially obscured widget or gadget descendant of a ScrolledWindow work area visible. The function repositions the work area and sets the specified margins between the widget and the nearest viewport boundary. The widget's location rela- tive to the viewport determines whether one or both of the margins must be adjusted. This function requires that the XmNscrollingPolicy of the ScrolledWindow widget be set to XmAUTOMATIC. Specifies the ID of the ScrolledWindow widget whose work area window contains an obscured descendant. Specifies the ID of the widget to be made visible. Specifies the margin to establish between the left or right edge of the widget and the associated edge of the viewport. This margin is established only if the widget must be moved horizontally to make it visi- ble. Specifies the margin to establish between the top or bottom edge of the widget and the associated edge of the viewport. This margin is established only if the widget must be moved vertically to make it visible. For a complete definition of ScrolledWindow and its associated resources, see XmScrolledWindow(3X). SEE ALSO
