You didn't define an equality matching rule for you attributetypes. If 
you want to do equality matching the attributes you want to match 
against should have an equality matching rule defined. Have look in the 
slapd.conf(5) man page for the "attributetype" keyword. And probably 
also take a look at the schema shipping with OpenLDAP for examples.
