The message is self explanatory: the DN you use to bind is incorrect.  To
get further help you should post that DN.

It appears that "slapd -t" is actually testing the LDIF file.  "slapd -t"
is intended to check the correctness of slapd.conf, i.e. of the
configuration, not of LDIF.  There's no LDIF checker, to my knowledge,
except ldapadd.
