Right.  That's my main concern, along with some other file/directory 
configuration that setup does for admin server/console.

Ok.

What OS and version is this?

I think that has to do with some info under o=netscaperoot that's using 
4.0 or 7.0 or 7.1 or 71 instead of 1.0 or 10 e.g. the jar file names 
should be ds10.jar instead of ds71.jar.
Try a search like this:
ldapsearch -T -b o=netscaperoot -D "cn=directory manager" -w password 
"objectclass=*" | grep 71
or grep 7.1 or grep 4.0
All of those will have to be replaced with 10 or 1.0.
