Yeah, I was in the same boat as you.  I wanted to do a binary data
upgrade.  According to the Sleepy Cat documentation, only the log file
format changed, so upgrades should have been easy.  It wasn't, however.

What I ended up doing on advice from eik was to slapcat my databases
with openldap21-server installed, then upgrade to 2.2, then slapadd the
dumped LDIF back.  Since I didn't have a large amount of data, this
worked quite well.

I tried all of that, but everytime, I ended up with a corrupt
database...at least according to slapd.
