Ok well it looks like I needed the -x operation for plaintext 
authentication which seems to be working ok.

Here is the command I am using now:
%> ldapmodify -v -x -f .UID2SID/modify-06.23.2008-mclame.ldif -h domain 
-D username -w password

Here is the ldif file:
dn: CN=mclame mclame,CN=Users,DC=domain
changetype: modrdn
newrdn: CN=mclame,CN=Users,DC=domain
deleteoldrdn: 1

And here is the error I am recieving:
ldap_initialize( ldap://domain )
modifying rdn of entry "CN=mclame mclame,CN=Users,DC=domain"
        new RDN: "CN=mclame,CN=Users,DC=domain" (do not keep existing 
values)
rename completed
ldapmodify: Naming violation (64)
        additional info: 00000057: LdapErr: DSID-0C090987, comment: 
Error in attribute conversion operation, data 0, vece

Any assistance is appreciated.
