That error usually means that you are trying to add an entry under a
node that does not already exist in the tree. e.g. before you can add

	cn=somebody,ou=mydept,o=myorg,c=zz

you must already have added

	ou=mydept,o=myorg,c=zz

make sure you are consistent in the way you use the short-form
attribute names in DNs too, as OpenLDAP treats short-form and
long-form names as *different* (a bug in my opinion):

	cn=somebody

will not match

	commonName=somebody

in a DN...
