3.3.4? Or 3.4.0 beta 2? Ctags support has changed a bit in 3.4..

Good question. Hopefully soon. Please try the betas. :)

How does it complain? As far as I can see, if you attempt to open  a file 
which does not exist, KDevelop will silently ignore it (except for the debug 
output, which will report the failure).

The project tags file is typicall in the project root directory with the name 
'tags'. If you are using a 3.4 beta and have created a  tags file for an 
external library, the location of that file was decided by you at the time of 
creation and can be pretty much anywhere...

Amusingly, only an hour ago I committed a change that displays the location of 
the tags file for these optional additional tags files.
