Do you even have the parent entry in your database? e.g this
ldif-representation:

# Top root node in your D.I.T
dn: dc=3Dlocaldomain
objectClass: top
objectClass: dcObject
dc: localdomain

if not, try add it with ldapadd or slapadd from commandline first.
I find it very handy to try making shure I'm able to do the most basic
things with commandline tools if I get any errors that don't make
sence to me using the ldap-api directly.

Its a good excersize to play around with ldapadd and ldapmodify working
with plain old ldif-files on commandline to get the grips of how LDAP
works.
