Nope, this works as expected...  From "ctags --help":
  -R   Equivalent to --recurse.
  --recurse=[yes|no]
       Recurse into directories supplied on command line [no].
                                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Well, you didn't supply any directories, you only specified files (*.c and
*.h), so, unless you have any directories ending in .c or .h, the recurse
option is moot.  Try "ctags -e -R ." or something (use --exclude option if
you don't want all files).
