When I run ctags -R *, I get errors saying that all directories are not regular files and it skips them instead of recursively generating tags for them.

ctags: skipping arpa: it is not a regular file.
ctags: skipping asm: it is not a regular file.
ctags: skipping asm-generic: it is not a regular file.
ctags: skipping bits: it is not a regular file.
ctags: skipping blkid: it is not a regular file.
ctags: skipping boost: it is not a regular file.

What is the problem?
