Looking at this, only root is capable of reading the files - what user does the
slapd run as?

Not really. id2entry.dbb contains the actual directory entries themselves and
maps the internally allocated ID numbers to the attributes and values for that
entry. The other .dbb files are used to obtain possible ID's based on the DN or
other defined indexes. id2entry is the only one of the database files that
returns easily recognisable data from ldbmcat as far as I can see.
Try making all your database files readable (chmod 644 *.dbb) and see if that
helps at all. If it does you know it's a permission issue.
Can you also check the output from slapd -d 1 for the ldbm_cache_open lines
after a query and check that the path shown is /usr/local/ldbmdir.
Cheers,
Neil
