[Samba] Samba bdc

I have two serves set up.  One will be my PDC (master) and the other 
will be my BDC (slave).  I have openldap setup and replicating the data 
between the two servers.

Everything seems to work fine from the Master, but I have one problem 
with the slave.  From the slave, I can do an ldapsearch and everthing is 
fine.  But when I do a 'pdbedit -L', I get the following:

Unknown parameter encountered "ldap map suffix"
Ignoring unknown parameter "ldap map suffix"
failed to bind to server with dn="blah,blah"  Error: Can't contact LDAP 
server (unknown)
smbldap_search_suffix: Problem during the ldap search (unknown) Timed out

Everything works fine with any ldap command that I enter, so I assume 
that it is something to do with samba.  Also,I can logon to the Master 
server with a Windows client just fine.  If I take the Master down and 
then try to login with my windows client, it tells me the domain is not 
available.  I would have thought the BDC would have taken over.  Any 
ideas what to look at?  I can post my conf files if need be.
