The DB Home environment is wherever you have deployed your database, so 
most likely /usr/local/var/openldap-data/.

If you had no DB_CONFIG file, creating one and setting stuff in it will not 
have any effect until you:

Shut down the slapd process
run db_recover
Start the slapd process


Do *not* run db_recover while slapd is running.
