Not finding property list

I have been bug searching the whole day and I found the problem but I don't know what is causing it. I have an IF statement that it skips since it can't find the property list. Upon entering a new viewController I have it read in the property list

Code:

- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
    if (clientContentArray) { //test line to find problem
        clientContentArray = nil;
    }
    [self readPlist];
    [super viewWillAppear:animated];
}

I have one Method that creates the path to the file

Code:

- (NSString *) dataFilePath
{
    NSArray *path = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
    NSString *documentsDirectory = [path objectAtIndex:0];
    
    return [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"clientList.plist"];
}

Now in the next code I have the line • if([[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:filePath]) • Looks like the IF statement is returning a FALSE since it is not running the code under it or printing the NSLog test that I set up. I have been cleaning up my code and moving things around so something go messed up, it was working fine last night. Does this code look right, or am I missing something?

Code:

- (void)readPlist{
    NSString *filePath = [self dataFilePath];
    if([[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:filePath])
    {
        NSLog(@"I saw it");
        clientContentArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:filePath];
        clientListForTable = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
        client = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc]init];        
        
        if ([clientContentArray count] != 0) {
            NSSortDescriptor *firstDescriptor = [[NSSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey:@"clientNames" ascending:YES selector:@selector(localizedCaseInsensitiveCompare:)];
            
            [clientContentArray sortUsingDescriptors:[NSArray arrayWithObject:firstDescriptor]];
            
            for (int i = 0; i < clientContentArray.count;  i++) {
                NSMutableDictionary *tempDict = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] initWithDictionary:[clientContentArray objectAtIndex:i]];
                [clientListForTable addObject:[tempDict objectForKey:@"clientNames"]];
            }
        }
    } 
    [self.tableView reloadData];
}

 

And that was the problem. Such a simple thing that cost me the better part of a day. While doing a little rewriting and debugging I removed the 'else' so it never wrote the file in the first place. I get so into problem solving that I forget to stop, step back, and look at the bigger picture.
