You're trying to add the same value twice to one attribute, which is
illegal. The information model that LDAP directories use require that all
values of a given attribute are different (*), and your server is spotting
that 'mark Jensens' is the same as 'mark Jensens'.

(* where "different" is roughly defined as "do not compare equal using the
equality matching rule defined in the schema")

Remove one of the 'mark Jensens' values.
