I was using nsslapd-instancedir to as the ref point on where to put the 
changelog db files.  Which by default in the console (1.1+) 
is /var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-INSTANCE/changelog.

But I couldn't find any attributes that would just point 
to /var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-INSTANCE/.  Which was what I assumed 
nsslapd-instancedir was for.

I guess when I was working on the script for 1.0.4 it just happened to be set 
to the correct location so I used that value.
