So still a puzzle. Maybe you could use gdb with a breakpoint on a suitable function (or just main()) in gtags.c (assuming you have the source) and try stepping through the call chain.

Did you also try the more direct alternative of grepping simply for "GPATH", "GTAGS", "GRTAGS"? Presumably whatever function updates these files has to refer to them, either directly by name or indirectly by a variable or function that in turn refers to them directly or indirectly. So it should be possible to find the update function by inspecting all code that uses these file names (directly or indirectly).
