Try:

#! /bin/sh
path=/some/dir
if !([ -f $path/this.one ]); then
     touch $path/this.one
     for file in $path/file1 $path/file2 $path/file3; do
        echo "-----------------------------------------" >> 
$path/this.one
        echo "   $file" >> $path/this.one
        echo "-----------------------------------------" >> 
$path/this.one
        cat $file >> $path/this.one
     done
fi

Also note that using a local variable named $path is not a good idea, 
since $PATH is highly important.  :-)  $path and $PATH are seperate in 
/bin/sh, but many other shells automangle the colon-seperated $PATH 
into the word-list format used by $path, and vice-versa.
