First, try spacing things out. Do

if [ $file1 ]

and

if [ $file2 ]

and verify that the square brackets aren't being treated as content in the condition. If that doesn't help, try

if [ -n $file1 ]

and

if [ -n $file2 ]

and see if that works.

(I'm a bash guy, not a ksh guy, so I could be way off, here.)
