What you are passing to bash is

"ctags -a -f ./tags --c++-kinds=+p --fields=+iaS --extra=+q "
"/full/path/to/some/file/"

The first set of single quotes mean that the program which bash tries to
run is not just ctags but an executable file with the improbable name
"ctags -a -f ./tags --c++-kinds=+p --fields=+iaS --extra=+q " (without
the quotes, but with a space at the end), and of course that file is not
found (IIUC, under Unix a filename may contain any character except a
slash or maybe a null. Control characters 0x00 to 0x1F are strongly
discouraged.)

Try removing the double quotes inside the first set of single quotes in
your ":let _cmd_" statement.
