Since spaces, tabs, and filename pattern special characters are all legal characters in a filename, finding out if a string matches more than one filename is not as easy as it sounds. But trying to figure out that you have more than one filename doesn't make any sense; why not just verify that what you were given names an existing file? If you just want to know if $file does not expand to the name of a file of any type:
If you only want regular files, change -e to -f.

And, I forgot to mention that you also need to change:

setcap
SETCAP(8) System Manager's Manual SETCAP(8)NAME
setcap - set file capabilities
SYNOPSIS
setcap [-q] [-v] (capabilities|-|-r) filename [ ... capabilitiesN fileN ]
DESCRIPTION
In the absence of the -v (verify) option setcap sets the capabilities of each specified filename to the capabilities specified. The -v
option is used to verify that the specified capabilities are currently associated with the file.
The capabilities are specified in the form described in cap_from_text(3).
The special capability string, '-', can be used to indicate that capabilities are read from the standard input. In such cases, the capabil-
ity set is terminated with a blank line.
The special capability string, '-r', is used to remove a capability set from a file.
The -q flag is used to make the program less verbose in its output.
EXIT CODE
The setcap program will exit with a 0 exit code if successful. On failure, the exit code is 1.
