is this really a dot (".") in your ldif too..? if it is, replace with a 
comma, if not, i'd first suggest to remove all whitespaces you don't 
need. (thought i think they shouldn't matter in this case, i don't like 
whitespace at all, especially not in DNs..)

no, but "dc=xxx,dc=yyy,dc=com" has to exist. (if my tree-structure-
assumptions apply, i.e. you have a "suffix dc=xxx,dc=yyy,dc=com" in your 
slapd.conf)
