All,

If the file doesn't exist, here is what happens:

figures $ texexec --pdf --use=fig-make --mode=letter figlibSection3.xml

TeXExec 5.4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005

fixing engine variable : pdfetex

         total run time : 1 seconds
figures $

Would it not be better if texexec reported "$filename not found" or  
some such thing?
