Sounds like you twisted the file off inside the hole...which is the worst scenario I could think of. I also would find the person who suggested using A FILE as an EZ-Out...and frankly explain that files are not made to BEND.
1. Find a shop with an Machine Shop with EDM capability and have them remove the file tip. If its turned then the edges of the tool steel have ground into the passage walls. Your not pulling it out or sucking it out or blowing it out anytime soon. 2. Buy yourself an AC refrigeration recharge canister at the parts store and see if you cannot shoot some refrigerant into hte passage onto the file piece. The trick here is either to shrink the file material from the passage walls or to weaken it enough to smash it into smaller pieces. 3. Buy the narrowest neednose pliers you can find and then grind them down to just a thin set of jaws...yes they will be useless afterwards but right now it sounds like the engine is in the same situation. 3. Get a stopper or plug on the other end of that passage and fill the tube up with some sort of lubricant and try to get a thin screwdriver or piece of tool steel down to work the file chunk from side to side. The key here is to break the lock of the material sticking to the sides of the passage..once its actually loose I think you could then deploy the magnet, JBweld, Welding techniques described above.
Good luck...and if anything think of this as a lesson on using tools for the purpose intended.

The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve. Free settlers started to arrive, they followed the explorers across the mountains and where land was suitable set up farms. T
