I was looking into those a couple years ago. I was contemplating getting my boss a saw for jul, and there's no way he'd settle down enough to sharpen a saw. I though that might be an acceptable solution, cause just about anything's better than nothing. Reports didn't sound that good, so I gave...
I don't /think/ you can 'oversharpen' with a file aside from removing more tooth than is strictly necessary. Probably the biggest thing is to get the geometry right.

If I only have a couple wrecked teeth, I treat them like the rest, and give them a few file strokes and call it good. The rest of the teeth will eventually catch up, and in the meantime, I'll have a semi skip chain. No point in removing a bunch of life for little gain.
A sharp cutter feels like it'll bit into your finger when you run your finger across it, but the real test for me is in wood. I use the finger test if I haven't used the saw in awhile. I typically sharpen it last thing after a session, but not always, so the finger test helps tell me where I stand.
