Using -R for recursive tagging of files gives unexpected response. #60

Thank you for creating this, I'm impressed with how well it is made and its simple use. I have spent a bit trying to use this and all the basic features work as expected. I have a huge set of files I want to tag and I'm running into issues with the --recursive flag.

The basic tag -a QM *QM* Tag all files that have the string 'QM' anywhere in the name with a tag of the same name.

Now when I run tag -aR QM *QM* it does not work, instead the following is output tag: The file “*QM*” couldn’t be opened because there is no such file.

Can you give insight into what is wrong with my command?
