The directives you indicate configure the bdb/hdb backend, and do not 
generate a DB_CONFIG.

The only directive that changes the DB_CONFIG is the "dbconfig" directive. 
Try olcDbConfig in your back-config.

Note that "if these are specified and DB_CONFIG file exists" is exactly 
opposite -- the file must NOT exist at the time of slapd startup.
