everything is working just fine until a cron job stops the ldap server and an offline backup of the ldap databse. The ldap server comes back up about 3 minutes later. After this happens the imap server will not authenticate users until it (the imap server!) is restarted.

If I understand authdaemond correctly it creates a connection to the ldap server when it starts and keeps that connection open. When you kill the ldap server to do your backup you break the connection. From your description authdaemond simply isn't reconnecting once the connection is broken. You could either try using ldap authentication without authdaemond or modify your ldap backup script to restart the authdaemond process too.
