check if two files exists at the same time in one location

Hi friends,

I am trying to check if the two files i am expecting are created in a specific location.

if both files does not exist, do an echo
Code:
if [ [ ! -f out1.txt ] -a [ ! -f out2.txt ] ]; then
   echo "files not found"
fi

It gives me the following message:
Code:
bash: [: too many arguments

Please help! Smilie
