how about something (seemingly simple) like this:
find out how many there are:
count=`ls * | grep -c .MOV$`
then diagnose the result:
if [ $count -ge 1 ]
then
do your stuff here
else
echo oops. nothing to do!
fi
of course, there are pitfalls... we're asuming that there are only FILES
that would match the pattern ".MOV", no directories.
