What OS and version are you running?  RHEL3 /etc/openldap/ldap.conf does 
not like the TLS_CACERTDIR directive - you must use the TLS_CACERT 
directive with the full path and filename of the cacert.pem file (e.g. 
/etc/openldap/cacerts/cacert.pem).  What does it say in the fedora ds 
access and error log for this request?

For a successful startTLS request with ldapsearch, you should see 
something like the following in your fedora ds access log:
[02/Jun/2006:15:31:48 -0600] conn=11 fd=64 slot=64 connection from 
127.0.0.1 to 127.0.0.1
