This is an RHEL3 box, right? Here is what mine contain on RHEL3 systems.

# cat /etc/cron.daily/slocate.cron
#!/bin/sh
renice +19 -p $$ >/dev/null 2>&1
/usr/bin/updatedb -f "nfs,smbfs,ncpfs,proc,devpts" -e
"/tmp,/var/tmp,/usr/tmp,/afs,/net"

# cat /etc/updatedb.conf
PRUNEFS="devpts NFS nfs afs sfs proc smbfs autofs auto iso9660"
PRUNEPATHS="/tmp /usr/tmp /var/tmp /afs /net /sfs"
export PRUNEFS
export PRUNEPATHS

Other things you might check. Anything in /var/lib/slocate/?
What does "rpm -V slocate" return?
