No.

"no structuralObjectclass operational attribute" means the 
"structuralObjectclass" operational attribute was not found in the 
provided entry. How can you possibly misinterpret this statement to mean 
what you state above?

It means that this slapd thinks it's a slave server. That's the price 
you pay for defining rootdn and updatedn to be the same, despite the 
documentation telling you not to. Since it appears that it was not 
intended to make the new server a slave, the updatedn directive should 
simply be removed from the new slapd.conf.
