The updatedn on your slave is wrong, it should be
updatedn "uid=Replicator,ou=People,dc=cougarnet,dc=bible,dc=edu"

Also you need to make sure the user
uid=Replicator,ou=People,dc=cougarnet,dc=bible,dc=edu
has write access in all your ACLs on the slave slapd.conf, on the master
it does not matter.

Start your Master
Start your slave
Start slurpd

To see what is going on start slurpd in the command line with debug
mode to see what is going on, e.g:

/opt/local/libexec/slurpd -d -1 -f /etc/openldap/slapd.conf

 -d -1 means full logs  (you can adjust this to the different debug
levels)

-f /etc/openldap/slapd.conf (point to your master slapd.conf)

HTH,
