Your master might have stopped pushing it's replica data to the slave
server. You can try and look what this command does:

# cd /kolab/var/openldap/openldap-slurp/replica
# slurpd -o -r <path_to_ldap_slave_hostname>.rej -d 255

This is called "one-shot mode". And look at the debug output. If you
see anything like:
 "skip repl record for <a ldap update> (old)"
then you could try:
# cat /dev/null > slurpd.status
to reset the timestamp slurpd uses to check if it should push any of
it's replica data over to the slave. Then, try the above slurpd
command again.

To err is human, but to really foul things up requires a computer.
