The problem is that the object results in two objectclasses 
(inetOrgPerson and country).  In version 2.0 this is accepted in version 
2.1 it is not anymore.

Now we have to create our own class in slapd.conf:
Added the following to slapd.conf and now it works:
	objectclass ( <oid> NAME 'personalAccount' SUP (inetOrgPerson $ 
country) STRUCTURAL)

Change <oid> to your own oid, beginning with the code you got at IANA.

Best regards,
