This is nonsensical.  You are adding a cn=config DB.  Thus you cannot use a 
base of "bdb".  Remember that -b is the suffix you are adding (in this 
case, cn=config).  Not the database type.

No.  But the directory (/usr/local/etc/openldap/slapd.d) must exist before 
slapadd will work.

I would suggest you run:

slapadd -d -1 -v -F /usr/local/etc/openldap/slapd.d -n 0 -l mmr.ldif

So you can see exactly why it is failing.  My guess is you didn't create 
the directory.
