The key to reproducing this problem is to start in a new directory tree
that is lacking GTAGS, GRTAGS and GPATH. The order of operations
is:

1) gtags-visit-rootdir to establish the correct root directory
2) Then issue gtags in shell to establish database

Suppose I have the source directory tree rooted at .../src, and in
that directory I also have .../src/test.py.

I visit .../src/test.py. In the text buffer, I now issue
gtags-visit-rootdir and the minibuffer shows me ".../src/"
so I accept and press RETURN. It is important to accept
the minibuffer content by only pressing RETURN, and not typing
anything else. When I do this, I get the error:

".../src/test.py is not a directory"

I will send to you directly a series of screen shots showing the above
sequence, to avoid spamming the mailing list.
