I am trying to set 

accountExpires	1.2.840.113556.1.4.159

The syntax is Integer8

Where did these numbers came from? 1016085600 is the number of seconds
from the epoch for the date of March 14, 2003. If I set an account in AD
for a expiration date of March 14, 2003 and then dump the account to
ldif the value of accountExpires is 126606456000000000. 

Now the strange part - I just added a user with the 1016085600 value and
the expiration date was set properly. I'm real confused now.
