Civileme, Hmmm. I can see that bdflush is running on my system, but bdflush is not found either as root or as a normal user. locate can't track it down either. Software Manager says it's installed, but all I find is the man pages. Looking at these, the command is certainly documented as you suggest.
Any ideas? There's no problem here, but I get curious when little inconsistencies like this come up.
