If you need a boolean-compatible method...

function checkIfFileExists(path){
    var result = false;

    window.requestFileSystem(
        LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT, 
        0, 
        function(fileSystem){
            fileSystem.root.getFile(
                path, 
                { create: false }, 
                function(){ result = true; }, // file exists
                function(){ result = false; } // file does not exist
            );
        },
        getFSFail
    ); //of requestFileSystem

    return result;
}
