You must slapcat/slapadd.  The underlying DB format changed between 2.1.26 
and 2.2.x.  I suggest using 2.2.6 or later.

You also may want to rebuild your entryCSN pieces by stripping them from 
the DB dump, and then releoading.  If you later want to use syncrepl 
(currently not functional), you will need the new entryCSN format.
