The "PRUNEPATHS" list are paths that should be pruned out (ignored),
likewise "PRUNEFS" prunes out certain filing systems. Since you have
afs pruned out, it really shouldn't be causing you a problem.
Do you have anything present at /afs or using afs?
=======================================================
Yes, I should have said, I have the afs system mounted, so access to a
very large number of files. The prunefs does not seem to have been
recognised by whatever launches updatedb...
