Yep.  This is a bug due to be fixed soon.  In the meantime:
service dirsrv stop unix-services2
rm -rf /etc/dirsrv/slapd-unix-services2 
/var/*/dirsrv/slapd-unix-services2* /usr/lib/dirsrv/slapd-unix-services2 
/usr/lib64/dirsrv/slapd-unix-services2
rm -rf /var/log/dirsrv/admin-serv
remove all files from /etc/dirsrv/admin-serv except for httpd.conf, 
admserv.conf, console.conf, and nss.conf
