Use of '.' in the path is not recommended as it posses a security risk.
If you have set BINDIR in your rkhunter config file, then remove the '.' from that. If it is defaulting to your root PATH, then I would suggest removing it from your root settings (this is your choice though) or setting BINDIR explicitly in your rkhunter config file so that is doesn't include the '.' path.
