I discovered two things after writing this:

1. I should be looking for \*hlp and not \*msg.  This did not matter as there
were no .hlp files in $AUBITDIR/etc either.

2. The gmake program evidently did not run in aubit4glsrc/help/help so the
necessary files were neither created nor copied to $AUBITDIR/etc.  This has
been remedied.

Now I obtain this:

afinderr -239
/opt/aubit4gl/etc/helpsql_POSTGRES8.hlp:
-239 duplicate key violates unique constraint
