updatedb does not list anything within /cygdrive/c/WINNT

The subject line pretty much says it all... Generally speaking, I run
the command: updatedb --localpaths='/cygdrive/c/'
This builds a database for everything inside cygwin as well as the rest
of my hard drive... unfortunately, it does not list anything inside of
the directory /cygdrive/c/WINNT... I assume that there is some kind of
permissions issue or something, but there is no error message about that
directory. I noticed the exclusion problem when trying to locate a file
called hosts (aka locate -i hosts | grep -iv ghosts). I eventually
found what I was looking for:
/cygdrive/c/WINNT/SYSTEM32/DRIVERS/ETC/HOSTS, but it was not through the
conveniently rapid locate command :(
Anyone know why this is or how to fix it?
