The attributeDescription "documentDN" doesn't exist in the schema of your
slapd (and doesn't exist in any standard track schema).  The metadata
setup of your back-sql is hosed, I suggest you upgrade to a more recent
version; see CHANGES to track recent fixes and improvements to back-sql. 
In any case, the example files are provided as guidelines, likely thy
don't match your existing RDBMS schema and thus will require extensive
editing, so I wouldn't mind too much about that error.

If you got to metainformation retrieval, everything should be set up
properly.  If you want to keep on testing before upgrading (which I
recommend anyway) I suggest you simply remove the "document" portion of
the metainformation an play with the inetOrgPerson data alone; that should
simplify things, you'll move to multi-object metainfo when you're a bit
more confident in metadata definition.
