I am reading the man page for slapd as well as the admin guide, but I cannot find anywhere that says how to use a directory vs a .conf file...

The command I was using did not define a file or a directory, so I assume it was using my default slapd.conf.
When using 'slapd' in tool mode, does it spawn the slapd server then perform the command, then kill the server? Meaning, should I have ldap stopped when using slapd in tool mode?
Ok, to do what you are doing, you need to be using the new cn=config format, and not slapd.conf
Second, slap* tools are all offline functions. So yes, slapd should not be running when you use them. (slapcat is the general exception, with some caveats, read the documentation on it).
