Problem solved - pilot error.

I have a number of directories on my machine I want accessible through
'links,' but hard links don't work and symlinks aren't a good fit for
some of them. So I use bind mounts to link them together.

Bad idea in this case - locate explicitly ignores them because of
PRUNE_BIND_MOUNTS setting to "yes." Duh.

I turned the /home/Music directory into a symlink, and voila.

I knew this was the case, but I forgot.

Be aware...
