Here's what finally worked for generating the alarms:
FILE %/opt/WSCluster.*/WebSphere/wp_profile/javacore.* yellow NOEXIST
I believe that the .* after "WSCluster" was terminating the initial regex, as what I was seeing was the same behavior (white with files not found, green when the files existed). Setting "javacore" to "javacore.*" as well generated the yellow alarms I was looking for.

Regular expressions must be specified for the entire match Doh! Yes, what he said. I parsed the strings starting at the percent. Oops.
