My guess is that it's probably looking relative to the current
directory, not the current file, and you want the latter. You could use

:set tags=./TAGS,./../TAGS,./../../TAGS

The explicit ./ should make it relative to the file, not the current
directory.

But, it is probably better to try

:set tags=./TAGS;

This uses an upward search which apparently works for the 'tags' option
(:help file-searching).

It is important that 'd' is not in cpoptions. Check this with

:set cpo?

And use

:set cpo-=d

if you need to fix it.

See :help 'tags' for a little more info and cross-references.
