etags and tramp

[Terrence Brannon]

I want to run etags on the TRAMP path /ssh:address@hidden:/u

such that Emacs can find the files in the TAGS file via TRAMP.

On remote-machine.com, I tried running this script:

cd /u
find . -name '*.p[ml]' | etags --language=perl -

But I get this error

     tag-find-file-of-tag-noselect: File
/u/httpd/cgi-bin/secure/cusd.pl (with or without extensions ( .Z .bz2
.gz .tgz)) not found

Here is part of the output of M-x tramp-bug, but I cant really post it
all because it reveals my company's server names
