That's the intended behavior.  You cannot perform that operation using 
ldapmodify or any of the update tools.  You need to implement your own 
client with internal referral chase cpabilities, i.e. set some rebind 
procedure via ldap_set_rebind_proc(), or chase the referral, i.e. parse 
the URL and connect to the referred server appropriately.  The 
impossibility to define in general what's appropriate led to this choice.
