It looks like your LDAP is pretty messed up... I suggest you:
1) remove kolab (rpm -e kolab-server)
2) remove remaining files in /etc/kolab (rm -rf /etc/kolab)
3) remove your ldap databases (rm -f /var/lib/ldap/*.ddb)
4) reboot your server to make sure all services are shutdown.
5) reinstall kolab (urpmi kolab-server)
6) run /usr/bin/kilab_boostrap -b as root via command line (don't use
the wizard so we can have logs)
7) start kolab (service kolab-server start)
