Pulling this back onto the list. :-)

We need to see what exact commands you are running. It would help if
you also posted the ACL's in your slapd.conf, including any default ACL
that might exist.
> Does this return anything better?
> ldapsearch -x -b 'dc=services,dc=egginc,dc=com' '(objectclass=*)'
Did it make a difference? Did it work properly?
I ran the above command as with these results
ldapsearch -x -b 'dc=services,dc=egginc,dc=com' '(objectclass=*)'
# extended LDIF
#
# LDAPv3
# base <dc=services,dc=egginc,dc=com> with scope sub
# filter: (objectclass=*)
# requesting: ALL
#
# search result
search: 2
result: 32 No such object
# numResponses: 1

If you post your ACL's, this will be answered.
Here is my slapd.conf file. I only changed the basics
#
# See slapd.conf(5) for details on configuration options.
# This file should NOT be world readable.
#
include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/core.schema
# Define global ACLs to disable default read access.
# Do not enable referrals until AFTER you have a working directory
# service AND an understanding of referrals.
#referral ldap://root.openldap.org
pidfile /usr/local/var/run/slapd.pid
argsfile /usr/local/var/run/slapd.args
# Load dynamic backend modules:
# modulepath /usr/local/libexec/openldap
# moduleload back_bdb.la
# moduleload back_ldap.la
# moduleload back_ldbm.la
# moduleload back_passwd.la
# moduleload back_shell.la
# Sample security restrictions
# Require integrity protection (prevent hijacking)
# Require 112-bit (3DES or better) encryption for updates
# Require 63-bit encryption for simple bind
# security ssf=1 update_ssf=112 simple_bind=64
# Sample access control policy:
# Root DSE: allow anyone to read it
# Subschema (sub)entry DSE: allow anyone to read it
# Other DSEs:
# Allow self write access
# Allow authenticated users read access
# Allow anonymous users to authenticate
# Directives needed to implement policy:
# access to dn.base="" by * read
# access to dn.base="cn=Subschema" by * read
# access to *
# by self write
# by users read
# by anonymous auth
#
# if no access controls are present, the default policy
# allows anyone and everyone to read anything but restricts
# updates to rootdn. (e.g., "access to * by * read")
#
# rootdn can always read and write EVERYTHING!
