I'm not so familar with the etags package, but it looks like it tries to
open the file /u/httpd/cgi-bin/secure/cusd.pl without prepending the
remote file name prefix. This looks rather like an error in the etags
package; I recommend to file a bug via "M-x report-emacs-bug".

Emacs 23.2, is in feature freeze already, so it is bad timing,
unfortunately :-(
