The message looks pretty self explanatory.  You don't post the whole
config, so it's hard to tell, but the database the update is trying to
modify should contain an "updateref" statement, and according to the error
message this is not present.  slapo-chain(5) can chain databases by
chasing referrals only when referrals are returned.
