Apparently you did everything correctly, and your system appears to 
behave as intended: if you try to update a slave, you get a referral. 
OpenLDAP clients cannot automatically chase referrals, but the API 
allows to write clients that do.  In detail, you can use the 
ldap_set_rebind_proc() to instruct the client as how to rebind to the 
referred DSA.  Other solutions strictly using OpenLDAP tools are purely 
academic at the moment (i.e. not released yet).
