can't ldapadd

[Michael Fairchild <mfairchi@yahoo.com>]

Hello,
  I am trying to get openldap runnig, but whenever i try and add some
entries (the test entries from the quickstart guide for now) I get the
result:
-----------------
adding new entry "dc=example,dc=com "
ldap_add: Invalid syntax
        additional info: objectclass: value #0 invalid per syntax
ldif_record() = 21
-----------------

I am running gentoo linux with openldap-2.0.25. my slapd.conf file:
------------
include         /etc/openldap/schema/core.schema
pidfile         /var/state/openldap/slapd.pid
argsfile        /var/state/openldap/slapd.args
database ldbm
suffix "dc=example,dc=com"
rootdn "cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com"
rootpw secret
directory /var/state/openldap/openldap-ldbm
index   objectClass     eq
----------

I tried setting the directory to 777 permissions and the dn2id.dbb file
with no change.

When I try this with "slapd -d 1" running i see get:

sorry for the big debug output, but I wasn't sure what to cut out.
I thought it was strange that the ldbm_cache_open call did not display
a full path. At first I thought this was the problem, that it wasn't
finding the dn2id.dbb file, but now I don't think so since the file is
indeed getting created.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Michael Fairchild
