It's better to add a (debug) call before the (message ...) call
instead. That way, existing files will not clutter the chase:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun org-check-agenda-file (file)
  "Make sure FILE exists.  If not, ask user what to do."
  (when (not (file-exists-p file))
    (debug)
    (message "non-existent agenda file %s. [R]emove from list or [A]bort?"
	     (abbreviate-file-name file))
    ...
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
