OK.  I had the old cert in there.

I followed the instructions and did a

cp cacert.asc /etc/openldap/cacerts/`openssl x509 -noout -hash -in 
cacert.asc`.0

and set TLS_CACERT to /etc/openldap/cacerts/cacert.asc. I still get the 
same error

[02/Jun/2006:15:24:47 -0700] conn=10 fd=67 slot=67 connection from 
127.0.0.1 to 127.0.0.1
[02/Jun/2006:15:24:47 -0700] conn=10 op=0 EXT 
oid="1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.20037" name="startTLS"
[02/Jun/2006:15:24:47 -0700] conn=10 op=0 RESULT err=0 tag=120 
nentries=0 etime=0
[02/Jun/2006:15:24:47 -0700] conn=10 op=-1 fd=67 closed - Peer does not 
recognize and trust the CA that issued your certificate.
