The variable org-agenda-files can also contain directories.  Therefore
you should use the function call

   (org-agenda-files t)

to get a list of the files.  The t means, even if the agenda
is currently restricted, get all files.

Another improvement to this function would be to limit it
to files currently visited - but I guess this is a minor issue
as the next agenda command will visit all those files anyway.
