Gah, I swear I pulled that updatedn parameter out once already.  slapd.conf 
is quite clear on what parameters go with the syncrepl directive:

yncrepl    rid=<replica    ID>	  provider=ldap[s]://<hostname>[:port]
	      [type=refreshOnly|refreshAndPersist]	[interval=dd:hh:mm:ss]
	      [retry=[<retry interval> <# of retries>]+] searchbase=<base  DN>
	      [filter=<filter  str>]  [scope=sub|one|base] [attrs=<attr list>]
	      [attrsonly]	[sizelimit=<limit>]	   [timelimit=<limit>]
	      [schemachecking=on|off]		       [starttls=yes|critical]
	      [bindmethod=simple|sasl]	   [binddn=<dn>]     [saslmech=<mech>]
	      [authcid=<identity>] [authzid=<identity>] [credentials=<passwd>]
	      [realm=<realm>]  [secprops=<properties>]	 [logbase=<base   DN>]
	      [logfilter=<filter str>] [syncdata=default|accesslog|changelog]


No where in there is updatedn.

Also in slapd.conf:

updatedn <dn>
	      This option is only applicable in a slave database updated using
	      slurpd(8).   It specifies the DN permitted to update (subject to
	      access  controls)  the  replica  (typically,  this  is  the   DN
	      slurpd(8)  binds	to  update  the  replica).  Generally, this DN
	      should not be the same as the rootdn used at the master.
