-u and -g not working with slapd

I'm doing a clean Mandrake upgrade from 9.2 to 10.0 Official and in the
process of rebuilding (using ldifs from previous setup) I noticed that
the init script wasn't starting slapd.

This is what was failing within the initscript
(only executed from cmd line):

| [root@enigma root]# /usr/sbin/slapd -u ldap -g ldap -l LOCAL0 -s 0 -h
"ldap:/// ldaps:/// "
| [root@enigma root]# ps -A | grep slapd
| [root@enigma root]#

This, however, works:

| [root@enigma root]# /usr/sbin/slapd -l LOCAL0 -s 0 -h "ldap:///
ldaps:/// "
| [root@enigma root]# ps -A | grep slapd
|  4010 ?        00:00:00 slapd
| [root@enigma root]#


The group and user "ldap" are available:

| [root@enigma root]# getent passwd ldap;getent group ldap
| ldap:x:79:79:system user for openldap:/var/lib/ldap:/bin/false
| ldap:x:79:
| [root@enigma root]#

Check perms for important directories:

| [root@enigma root]# ls -l /var/lib/ | grep ldap;ls -l /etc/op
| openldap    openoffice
| [root@enigma root]# ls -l /var/lib/ | grep ldap;ls -l /etc/openldap/*
| drwxr-x---   2 ldap     ldap     4096 Jun 13 01:26 ldap/
| -rw-r-----  1 root ldap 2034 Mar 25 08:39 /etc/openldap/slapd.access.conf
| -rw-r-----  1 root ldap 4417 Jun 13 01:40 /etc/openldap/slapd.conf
|
| /etc/openldap/schema:
| total 4
| -rw-r--r--  1 root root 55 Mar 25 08:39 local.schema

Looks to me like ldap seems to have plenty of user/group based access
for just starting up.

What gives?  Why is it willing to start as root.root and not ldap.ldap?
