You wrote you can see this variables in the slapcat.
Kolabconf sees them in the templates but cannot look them up via ldap.

It checks for changed templates and configuration variables via ldap
and if it finds some, it will recreate the configuration files from the 
templates.

I cannot see how this would be able to help.

Are they?
They should be.

This is most likely harmless.

Hmm maybe there is some caching going on. 
You could check if the resmgr.conf files get created with the right values 
filled in from the templates.
