That tells me that there's nothing in the directory.  Ok.  I can accept
that.

As expected since there is nothing in the directory according to
slapcat.

I don't expect there to be any permissions problems, but please show the
result of:
  ls -ld /var/lib/openldap-data
  ls -l /var/lib/openldap-data/

Show me the result of:
  cat -e egg3.txt
There should be no spaces at the beginning of the lines and there should
be no trailing spaces at the end of the lines and there should be only a
linefeed at the end (ie only a $, no ^M characters which indicate a DOS
format file).

You caught me staying late at work.  Not a big deal.  Less distractions
