I don't use org-mode like this myself but just did a quick minima= l emacs
test and it seems to work fine. =A0 You can set org-agenda-files to the
directories you want to include in the agenda and all files matching the org-agenda-file-regexp will be included in the agenda.

Here's my test setup -- I just added the directories to org-agend= a-files:

I just created files in /tmp/play/ /tmp/work/ and /tmp/foo and added
some tasks to some of these just to see if they show up in the agenda
(and they did).
