 /etc/._cfg_mime.types

By default 'find' does not follow symlinks, so above command will 
not find ._cfg* files in /usr that are symlinked from /etc.
Try with option -L:  find -L /etc -iname '._cfg*'

What about you try using your config file updater (etc-update,
dispatch-conf) and see what is this other file it reports and post it
here?

If the updater doesn't report 4 files, then there's definetly
something wrong... Else, you may have a file somewhere else than /etc
that need update, and that msg is just kinda wrong...
