This is the error I get as well.  If you use the "referral" line, the
server does send back the referral, but this appears to the client
(eg. ldapmodify in my case) as  "No such object".  This appears to be
a bug in the client tools, or perhaps even in the client library.

I would suggest you try upgrading to the lastest OpenLDAP 2.x, where
this may already be fixed.
