Greetings,
Did I miss something in the Docs?
I have lots of .org files with tasks in each one, but my global task
list does not show anything. Is there something I need to do to set this up?
Thanks,

You should have a look to the variable org-agenda-files (see <http://orgmode.org/org.html#Agenda-files>).

I get an error when setting the variable to a folder
Here is my .emacs file
;; Org-mode settings
(require 'org-install)
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.org$" . org-mode))
(global-set-key "\C-cl" 'org-store-link)
(global-set-key "\C-ca" 'org-agenda)
(global-set-key "\C-cb" 'org-iswitchb)
(global-font-lock-mode 1)
(setq org-log-done t)
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
((org-agenda-files '("~/Documents/Notes/org/"))
))
(setq inhibit-splash-screen t)
I get the following error when my .emacs file is initialized.
Invalid function: (org-agenda-files (quote (~/Documents/Notes/org/)))
any ideas
TIA,

You are not supposed to set it to a folder. I use something like:
(setq org-agenda-files (file-expand-wildcards "~/Notes/*.org"))

you mixed org-agenda-custom-commands and org-agenda-files. You can set
org-agenda-files as part of org-agenda-custom-commands, but then you
have to define at least one private command as well.
An easier way to start is just setting org-agenda-files alone.
Either with `setq':
(setq org-agenda-files "~/Documents/Notes/org/")
or with `custom-set-variables':
(custom-set-variables
'(org-agenda-files "~/Documents/Notes/org/"))

Olivier Schwander's suggestion worked best.
I used this below:
(setq org-agenda-files (file-expand-wildcards "~/Notes/*.org"))
works like a charm. Love it.
Thanks,

Bad syntax: to set the variable, say
(setq org-agenda-files '("~/Documents/Notes/org"))
This has nothing to do with org-agenda-custom-commands. If you want
to set the latter to something, do it separately.

"Yes, you can". See
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/org/Agenda-files.html.
But your error comes from the way you write you agenda custom commands: no
dispatcher key, no documentation string, etc.

Cameron, use something like the above for a system-wide setting, or something
like this for a change just for some custom view:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
("p" "Tasks in my personal realm"
alltodo ""
((org-agenda-files
'("~/Personal/TODO.org"))))
#+end_src
Best regards,
Seb

That's not true: you can set it to
- a list of files and directories
- a single file name
C-h v org-agenda-files RET for the details.

You can do the same thing like this:
(setq org-agenda-files '("~/Notes"))
with the default value of org-agenda-file-regexp.
