Pls use code tags as advised!
I don't see an obvious flaw in your script, but it might keep the ssh connection open for hours, which might work on LAN but might be risky for remote conenction across WAN.

You can do that a lot more simply:

Code:
ssh ssh xldn2218pap "while [ ! -f /sbclocal/InternalSecureFileTransfer/users/ETDIT/gmi_coma/gmi_to_coma/US2COMA_$DATEPREV.done ] ; do sleep 300 ; done ; echo 'File found'"
