Actually to start with, try using the correct db_recover binary while in the data directory. If that fails, then remove the alock file and see if slapd will start. Sadly not uncommon for alock to report problems incorrectly.
Note that with LTB OpenLDAP init script, you can launch the db_recover utility with "service slapd db_recover"
