How about this: Go back to your script for repeatable results. Then try to run your script in batch (so you get results soon). If it does not work, try to run "id;sh -x your_script". You you slapcat as ldap user, and does ldap user have write permissions on the target file?

(I doubt that) Are there any syslog messages that indicate problems with the database? If so you might have a memory problem (not so uncommon with recent RAM sizes and the bugs in Intel CPUs).
