call more options on if

Hi all,
I'm trying to make a script that will help me a lof on some configuration,
what this should do is to check the files if they exist ,if not the script will send me a mail to notify me that the files does not exist,

but when i call the script to test it,like this

Code:

sh /test/test_script.sh  /test/test_

it says to many arguments ,
and it checks only for the first date format,and skips the other,
how can this be done to check al the date formats and to send me a single mail not 5 mail?
any suggestions are very welcome
thanks in advance.

Code:

#!/bin/sh
{
FILE=$1
TODAY1=`date +%Y-%m-%d`
TODAY2=`date +%Y_%m_%d`
TODAY3=`date +%Y%m%d`
TODAY4=`date +%y-%m-%d-%H-%M`
TODAY5=`date +%y%m%d%H%M`
if [ -e $FILE$TODAY1* ] or [ -e $FILE$TODAY2* ] or [ -e $FILE$TODAY3* ] or [ -e $FILE$TODAY4* ] or [ -e $FILE$TODAY5* ] ;
 then
  echo $FILE  File Exists
else
  echo "$FILE File not Found" | mail -s 'server-test' my.account@my.domain.com
 fi
}
