Nick, thanks for reposting and for your comment. Sorry, I mistakenly sent
the e-mail to you instead of the list.

Just a further comment on this problem:

I have the impression that this behaviour of all files not being correctly
added to the org-agenda-files started when I chose the option R[emove] file
from org-agenda-files proposed by org. This occured when org tried to build
the agenda but realised that one of the files named in org-agenda-files was
not there. After that, it is my impression, the problems started.

I have knowingly not made any alteration to the emacs init sequence of my
emacs.

Could there be something in the org code for agenda that spurs this
behaviour?

How could I debug this?
