I replicate from the "" base, and it works fine for me.  Here's the 
template used:

syncrepl rid=${ldap_replica_rid}
       provider=${ldap_master_url}
       retry="60 +"
       type=refreshAndPersist
       schemachecking=off
       searchbase=""
       bindmethod=simple
       binddn=uid=zmreplica,cn=admins,cn=zimbra
       credentials=@@ldap_replication_password@@
