To add to Quanah's reply, it'd be interesting to see the results of an 
strace of the slapd process.  Using the above as an example, you could 
try (as root):

    strace -vv -s 1500 -e trace=file -f -o /tmp/slapd.strace -p 24866

Try to modify the config (olcLogLevel on cn=config, for example) and 
then ^C strace, and then grep for cn=config.ldif.  I suspect you might 
find some EACCES or EPERM errors on the open() calls for that file.
