$ ls -al /var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db

$ ls -al /var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db
-rw-r----- 1 root mlocate 12739093 2010-05-06 07:59
/var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db

Now updatedb:

$ sudo updatedb
and running 'ls -al /var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db' again shows:
$ ls -al /var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db
-rw-r----- 1 root mlocate 12740083 2010-05-06 14:49
/var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db

Standard updatedb.conf:

$ cat /etc/updatedb.conf
PRUNE_BIND_MOUNTS="yes"
# PRUNENAMES=".git .bzr .hg .svn"
PRUNEPATHS="/tmp /var/spool /media"
PRUNEFS="NFS nfs nfs4 rpc_pipefs afs binfmt_misc proc smbfs autofs

Maybe these will help?
