Sorry, I actually looked it up and everything, but forgot to post with
the message (BTW RedHat 7.3/OpenLDAP 2.0.27) :\

The differences in the domain information was also a bit overlooked, I

to edit it for matching what I had tried.

Thanks to Peter off line for providing the solution, I was *not* leaving
a blank line in my ldif file.
