htdig 3.1.5 doesn't handle file:/ URLs, only http://... URLs.  You can
make local_urls work with this style of URL, if the documents are on the
same system as the one on which you run htdig, using a syntax similar to
this example from my system:

start_url:  http://www.scrc.umanitoba.ca/
local_urls: http://www.scrc.umanitoba.ca/=/home/httpd/html/
local_user_urls:http://www.scrc.umanitoba.ca/=/home/,/public_html/

where /home/httpd/html corresponds to my Apache DocumentRoot setting.

Note that local_urls only indexes a certain limited set of file types,
determined by file extension.  For any other file type, or for directory
URLs where there's no index.html, it falls back to the HTTP server.

See http://www.htdig.org/attrs.html#local_urls

You can't in 3.1.5. It only understands http:// URLs natively.

The current 3.2 development snapshots will index file:// URLs and 
recursively generate directory listings if this is something very 
important to you.

This is probably a really easy thing, but I can't get
htdig to index HTML from my hard drive.  I tried
setting start_url to file:/, but that didn't work
and I played around with local_urls_only and
local_urls but couldn't get it to work.  Any advice is
greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
