I'm quite sure, this isn't the Cygnus, but the Windows "find", which
gives this error.

Because find did not find anything, you get an empty temporary locatedb.
This message also says, that you didn't specify the env vars for updatedb
and locate:
        LOCATE_DB=/foo/bar (for updatedb)
        LOCATE_PATH=/foo:/bar (for locate)
