Could you give us the values of DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD and $downloads_values['orders_products_filename'] ?
The path could be wrong, or some part of the filename (including it's extension) could be missing. You may also need delimiters (/'s) in the path.

would [$orders_products_filename] work instead of ['orders_products_filename'] ?

That would depend if the string (orders_products_filename) is the key, or if it's a variable holding the key.

do this:
<?php$file = DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD . $downloads_values['orders_products_filename']
if (file_exists($file))
echo \"123\";
else
echo \"doesnt exist: $file\";
?>
that way you'll know exactly which file doesn't exist, my guess is it really doesnt exist possibly because of a missing '/'
