What level of logging do you have set?  Have increased it appropriately?

Well, you could dump to an LDIF file, manually delete the records,
delete the db files, and reload from the edited LDIF file, but that
seems like a lot of work especially if you're going to have to do this
again the next time you need to modify the database.

I would try to determine the problem by increasing the logging first.
If that fails to illuminate what's going on, you might try deleting
the records using a different interface, perhaps using perl's
Net::LDAP interface so you can run in a debugger to see what's going
on...
