It's expected.  The ldapsearch tool ends every entry it outputs with a
blank line, even if you've only received one entry as a response to your
search.  I don't know if this is part of the LDIF spec or not.

Sounds like your scenario is right.  It looks like your server isn't
returning values for the CN attribute, even though you're asking for it
specifically.  That's weird, and I don't know if that's supposed to be
allowed to happen.  I'll have to read some specs to find out.

Here's the output I get when querying our local server:

  nalin@blade:~> ldapsearch -x '(&(objectclass=automountMap)(ou=auto.master))' dn -LLL
  dn: ou=auto.master,dc=devel,dc=redhat,dc=com

  nalin@blade:~> ldapsearch -x -b ou=auto.master,dc=devel,dc=redhat,dc=com '(objectclass=automount)' cn automountInformation -LLL
  dn: cn=/mnt, ou=auto.master,dc=devel,dc=redhat,dc=com
  cn: /mnt
  automountInformation: ldap:devserv.devel.redhat.com:ou=auto.mnt,dc=devel,dc=redhat,dc=com

  dn: cn=/home, ou=auto.master,dc=devel,dc=redhat,dc=com
  cn: /home
  automountInformation: ldap:devserv.devel.redhat.com:ou=auto.home,dc=devel,dc=redhat,dc=com

  dn: cn=/misc, ou=auto.master,dc=devel,dc=redhat,dc=com
  cn: /misc
  automountInformation: ldap:devserv.devel.redhat.com:ou=auto.misc,dc=devel,dc=redhat,dc=com --timeout=60
