It looks like set variable to exists POSIX file only accepts strings as input. Seems to work if you do set ourTest to exists POSIX file lastVolumeListFile as string

So in trying to help a friend out, this is stumping me:

set myTemps to the path to temporary items folder from the user domain as string
set lastVolumeListFile to (POSIX path of (myTemps & "com.shirtpocket.lastVolumeList")) as string
tell application "Finder"
set ourTest to exists POSIX file lastVolumeListFile
set ourSecondTest to exists POSIX file "/Users/jwelch/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems/com.shirtpocket.lastVolumeList"
end tell

Now, from what I can tell, both ourTest and ourSecondTest should return the same thing, either true or false. Yet in run after run, ourTest is false, ourSecondTest is true. Beats me why, but I’d love to know.
