tFileExist error

[Anonymous]

I am passing a value to tFileExist that contains a file location such as

V:/!Q6UJ9A0043TK_0722081228_001.pdf

When my job hits the tFileExist component it throws the following error:

Syntax Error on token "(", Expression expected after this token

The variable used in tFileExist is

((String)globalMap.get("map.filename"))

The variable is created by tFlowtoIterate.
I should also add that I am not using tFileList because there are over 100,000 files in this drive and it would take forever for this job to run through all those files when i only need about 200 files copied. I have a query setup in mysql to narrow the attachments down to the 200 I need.
Looking closer I noticed in the code view the following (note the empty if statement below):

 *  start
 */

currentComponent="tFileExist_1";

 
ok_Hash.put("tFileExist_1", true);
end_Hash.put("tFileExist_1", System.currentTimeMillis());
   			if () {
   				
					if(execStat){   
   	 					runStat.updateStatOnConnection("If1", 0, "true");
					}
				
    			tFileCopy_1Process(globalMap);
   			}
			   
   				else{
					if(execStat){   
   	 					runStat.updateStatOnConnection("If1", 0, "false");
					}   	 
   				}

/**
 *  stop
 */

Anyone know why I am getting this error?
