Are the files readable by the user the server run as? You can find out what that is configured by by looking for nsslapd-localuser in config/dse.ldif.

I'm a glutton for punishment so I might run truss on the start script and look for where the NSS database is being opened and see if any errors are thrown (EPERM, etc). You'll need a flag to follow forks, I think it is -f.
