>> I'm running updatedb - is this not right?

What are you trying to update?
RPM or the locate command DB?

>From the man page of updatedb:
       updatedb - update the slocate database
The slocate DB is not the same.  They have entirely 2 different jobs and
functions.  "locate" uses the DB created by updatedb, which is just a small
DB of all files on the entire system at the time "updatedb" was ran.
"rpm --rebuilddb" rebuilds the DB for the RPM's that are installed and
everything that is included in rpm files.
