It would not suprise me if you need to dump + reload your database to
update to a new bdb schema in openldap2.2.  Did you try backing up the old
db files, slapcatting them somewhere, move out of the way, do the upgrade,
then slapadd the data back into fresh db files?

Actually there's a mention of this in their FAQ-O-Matic:

http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/842.html

Dump + reload on upgrade are well known to postgres folks :)
