Thanks for all your sympathy.  Special thanks to Kim-- her following tips did the trick.

	mkdir /usr/var
	Create the database of file names.  The script does not come with cygwin.  Edit for your path, etc.
	You may need to do specify a "usual" database named locatedb.  Otherwise the script just creates a database named @LOCATE_DB@ and may not put it in the directory you want it in!   something like:
		sh bin/updatedb.sh --output=/usr/var/locatedb
	shazam.
