The recommended method for doing this is to use slapcat on the old 
server and slapadd on the new server.

You may be able to get away with just making certain that the files are 
all owned by the ldap user and ldap group (RHEL does that) and that the 
/var/lib/ldap (and any subdirectories) are also owned by ldap/ldap -- 
probably should check that the permissions didn't change in the copy 
process too.

Or, take a step back and use the slapcat/slapadd as you really should 
have (the only file(s) you need to copy from the old servers 
/var/lib/ldap directory structure are the various DB_CONFIG files if you 
are using back-bdb)
