Your first mistake is to keep thinking codes you see reported are errors. 
Since it hasn't yet replicated anything from the master, how would the 
entry exist?

My guess would be that it set a cookie while your configs were incorrect, 
so it has no "knowledge" that it needs to update to anything later.  Again, 
I would advise you to load the replica from the master via a slapadd.  If 
not, man slapd, and reset the replication cookie as noted in the man page 
with the -c flag.
