After some more debugging, I've hit a problem with creating a database
entry with slapadd when defining a new database is not done at the same
time as creating the initial slapd.d structure.

I've attached two files, init.ldif and database.ldif that I'm using.

The two following tests have different outcomes:

 * First initialize the directory, then create a new database.

$ cat init.ldif | slapadd -F ./d/ -b "cn=config"
$ cat database.ldif | slapadd -F ./d/ -b "cn=config"
slapadd: could not add entry dn="olcDatabase=hdb,cn=config" (line=1): autocreation of "olcDatabase={-1}frontend" failed
$

 * Initialize the directory *and* create the new database in one run:
$ cat init.ldif database.ldif | slapadd -F ./d/ -b "cn=config"
$

Although the last command seemed successful, loading a set of entries
fails even in the later case:

$ cat tree.ldif 
dn: dc=my-domain,dc=com
objectClass: top
objectClass: dcObject
objectClass: organization
o: Mydomain
dc: my-domain

dn: cn=admin, dc=my-domain, dc=com
objectClass: simpleSecurityObject
objectClass: organizationalRole
cn: admin
description: LDAP administrator
userPassword: secret

$ slapadd -F ./d/ -b "dc=my-domain,dc=com" -l tree.ldif 
slapadd: bad configuration directory!
