I would recommend starting slapd in debug mode so you can read the debug
info from the actual server.

You can use -d <level> on the command line to start it.

There is a table on this page that shows the different debug logs.
http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin22/slapdconfig.html

Kill slapd, and then start it with something like

/usr/local/libexec/slapd -d1

Run the ldapadd and check the debug info on the server side.
