This seems to indicate that you attempted to write to a slave ldap server (which
is read-only) and that additionally the updateref parameter in slapd.conf is
missing.

On the other hand, I don't see an updatedn directive below which would indicate
this to be a slave server.

Perhaps you have the /var/lib/ldap permissions wrong? Remember that the user slapd
runs as has to be able to read and write there.
