The find.codes database (used by the locate command) that is supposed to
be built each morning at 2:47am on my system

# Make the find.codes database
47 02 * * * root /usr/bin/updatedb --localpaths='' 
--netpaths='/' --prunepaths='/tmp /proc /mnt /var/tmp /var/spool 
/dev /home' --netuser=nobody 2> /dev/null

(all on one line)  is not being built for some reason.  If I cut-and-paste
this to a command line the database does get built.  Any ideas as to what
is going on here?
