I assume you shutdown the Server (Master 1) before you added those three 
entries with slapadd.  Thus, you have no entries in your accesslog for 
syncrepl on Replica (Master 2) to see that it should replicate those 
three entries.

You have a few ways out of this:

1) shutdown the Replica, erase its database and start it up as an empty 
consumer

2) shutdown the Replica, slapcat from the Server, erase the Replica's 
database and slapadd the one from the Server

3) shutdown the Replica, and slapadd those same three entries

4) use ldapdelete to get rid of those three entries on the Server, and 
then ldapadd them back (so they'll get accesslog entries and be 
replicated)

You cannot use slapadd for things you want replicated.  It does not 
work.
