Could you post the content of /etc/cron.daily/find? Mine looks like
this: 

if [ -f /etc/updatedb.conf ]; then
  . /etc/updatedb.conf
fi

cd / && updatedb --localuser=nobody 2>/dev/null

Maybe the updatedb has a crippeled --localuser or something sets
LOCALUSER="". Maybe a grep for LOCALUSER locates something special.

so long
