I believe that is what I did...

My catalog directory is:
/var/lib/interchange/catalog

The actual directory is in my httpdocs directory, called "files".  So,
I created a symbolic link to the "files" directory.  So, now there is
a sub-directory:
/var/lib/interchange/catalog/files
And then I tried: [if type=file term=|files/test.txt|]found![/if]

Can the [if file] follow a symbolic link?
