 You have not write access to the entry, so the entry is not added.Check
your ACL configuration in slapd.conf and add this entry first, otherwise
you will not be able to add subsequent records in this subtree
(dc=example,dc=com).

 This is obviously because the entry "dc=example,dc=com" (parent for
"ou=people..." ) does not exist (i.e. has not been added by the first
ldapadd operation).
