Interseting syntax, since the *option* to -l is a file.  Why not just 
slapcat -l master.ldif?

Is slurpd running on the master?  I will note that slurpd is deprecated 
with 2.3 (I.e., it is suggested that you DO NOT USE IT).  It has been 
deleted from OpenLDAP 2.4.  You should be using syncrepl or delta-syncrepl 
instead.

What options is slurpd running with if it is running?
