What it sounds like is that the location of the ldap database on your 
drive is different depending on whether you start it from service ldap 
start, and when you start ldap manually.

By default, the redhat location for the ldap database is /var/lib/ldap - 
find out where your database is stored now (hint: search for a file 
called objectClass.dbb on your system somewhere) and move those files to 
/var/lib/ldap, making sure the file ownership and permissions are 
correct (user/group ldap/ldap).
