What version of updatedb?

Try: "updatedb --version"

Do you have an /etc/mtab file?

By default, updatedb doesn't include network filesystems in its locate
database.

updatedb usually uses find with the -fstype switch.

Also try running updatedb as a non-root user (because updatedb has
different functionality when root).

Maybe try with:

updatedb --localuser=nobody

Or:

su nobody -c updatedb
