That message means that "doc" isn't in the mimemap.

Since it is by default, unless you removed it with "-Mdoc:" on the
command line this means that a previous attempt to run antiword failed
with exit status 127, which is what happens if it antiword isn't found.

So either you don't have the PATH set correctly when running omindex,
or antiword can exit with status 127, or ... something else odd.

Try looking in the output for:

    Filter for "application/msword" not installed - ignoring extension "doc"
