Maybe the slapd user doesn't have any rights to that directory?

"Browse" means "seeing what's in it." But that's not what you mean? You
can browse the contents with ldapsearch or other clients later. But, as
you realize, it has to be created first. It ought to be created as soon
as slapd starts up.
