Test File Existance Remotely?

Thanks in advance to anyone that can help me answer this:
I'm trying to write an if statement that will run test -f on whether a file exists on another server and if it does not then report that negative outcome to a log file.

I'm thinking it should look something like this:
if [ remsh server1 -f /tmp/file.dat ]; then
rcp server1:/tmp/file.dat local1:/tmp/
else
echo "File Not Found" >> table.log
fi


But when I run this I get: "ksh: server1: unknown test operator"

server1 is the name of the remote server and local1 is the server I'm running the script from and table.log is located on local1.

NAME
dtest - simple uDAPL send/receive and RDMA test SYNOPSIS
dtest [-P provider] [-b buf size] [-B burst count][-v] [-c] [-p] [-d] [-s] dtest [-P provider] [-b buf size] [-B burst count][-v] [-c] [-p] [-d] [-h HOSTNAME] DESCRIPTION
dtest is a simple test used to exercise and verify the uDAPL interfaces. At least two instantiations of the test must be run. One acts as the server and the other the client. The server side of the test, once invoked listens for connection requests, until timing out or killed. Upon receipt of a cd connection request, the connection is established, the server and client sides exchange information necessary to per- form RDMA writes and reads. OPTIONS
-P=PROVIDER use PROVIDER to specify uDAPL interface using /etc/dat.conf (default OpenIB-cma) -b=BUFFER_SIZE use buffer size BUFFER_SIZE for RDMA(default 64) -B=BURST_COUNT use busrt count BURST_COUNT for interations (default 10) -v, verbose output(default off) -c, use consumer notification events (default off) -p, use polling (default wait for event) -d, delay in seconds before close (default off) -s, run as server (default - run as server) -h=HOSTNAME use HOSTNAME to specify server hostname or IP address (default - none) EXAMPLES
dtest -P OpenIB-cma -v -s Starts a server process with debug verbosity using provider OpenIB-cma. dtest -P OpenIB-cma -h server1-ib0 Starts a client process, using OpenIB-cma provider to connect to hostname server1-ib0. SEE ALSO
