I've just started on an "agile" project. I don't seem to be doing anything differently from how I'd normally do it, except there are more meetings.

When you have 20 people reviewing 14 UML laden low level design documents, and you've made a special effort to call business processes things like createFSDX_updateK2 because you think it sounds suitably "computery", that isn't Agile, and it's certainly not agile. Saying "we are following an agile methodology" doesn't make it so.
Your project is probably ****ed BTW. Just saying.
I feel your pain buddy. Why not create a traceability matrix?

If the senior manglement ask about what you think about agile working, make sure you fidget endlessly while you speak and tell them that fidgetsizing is the latest agile mechanism that's proven to get 5% more work and 4% greater accuracy in programmer hours.
