For FC3, the first one (/usr/bin/db_recover), should be the correct one. 
Using the version (-V) option should tell you it's part of BDB 4.2.52. I 
don't know what those others are.

If you start investing more time with OpenLDAP, one thing to maybe 
consider is building BDB, SASL, OpenSSL, and OpenLDAP from source 
distributions so you have more control and insight.

You should post the error messages if you want good odds of getting 
assistance. The -v option will give more such information (next time). 
You may also want to check what you get against BDB documentation, as 
there is a possiblity it's not an OpenLDAP issue at all. Good luck.
