If this fails then check if you run db_checkpoint (case of OL 2.2.x;
should be run with uid 'ldap' of course --> as it might happen that
db_checkpoint will commit something to disk, and if run with root
uid... file(s) will be owned by root - am I right?).

And you will have to do this every time you slapadd something as root
or other user.
