Distribution script checking for files or package receipt?

Hi...
I'd like my distribution script to check for either
/System/Library/StartupItems/MySQLCOM/MySQLCOM
or
/Library/StartupItems/MySQL/MySQL
* Alternatively, is there an 'approved' way to check for the receipt?
Thanks,
Shay
/* js:pkmk:start */
function MySQLStartupItemInstalled() {
	 return  mysqlStartupPackageInstalled() ;
}
/* js:pkmk:end */

/* ******* DO NOT EDIT ANYTHING BELOW THIS LINE ******* */
/* THE TEXT BELOW IS THE DEFINITION FOR THE REQUIREMENTS EDITOR */
(or alternatively, for the presence of a receipt of the
MySQLStartupItem package).
The questions are:

* Why does the check for the files result in a Javascript error?
(__choice_my_database_enabled returned error: (null))

/* js:pkmk:start */

function mysqlStartupPackageInstalled() {

	var result = false;

	try {

		result =
system.files.fileExistsAtPath('/System/Library/StartupItems/MySQLCOM/MySQLCOM')
== true ||
system.files.fileExistsAtPath('/Library/StartupItems/MySQL/MySQL') ==
true;

	} catch (e) {}
	if(!result) {

		my.result.type = 'Fatal';

		my.result.title = 'MySQL Startup Package missing';

		my.result.message = 'You must install the MySQL
Startup Package from the MySQL installation';

	}

	return result;

}
