Yes, this is the right place for software questions...

Did you copy the master database to the slave before starting
the master and running running slurpd?   That is, slurpd only
makes changes recorded in the replication log.  If dependent
entries do not yet exist in the slave, slurpd will fail.

If you slaves are running under the same platform
(hardware/os/software) as the master, than you can copy the
actual DB files (while no slapd is running).  Otherwise, use
must use ldbmcat (on the master) and ldif2ldbm (on the slave)
to create each slave's initial database.  Besure to remove
any old replog before starting the master.

The you can proceed with testing replication logging, slave-to-master
referrals, and slurping.
