Fedora directory users - Jan 2008 - Can''t open fedora ds with ldapeditor

I have fedora ds running on Redhat 5 and it works great..... as long as I 
use the fedora admin tool. 

I can''t use any other tools to modify the ldap data. 

For example, the following will not run: 
ldapadd -h 12.34.56.789 -x -D "cn=manager,dc=example,dc=com" -W -f
/tmp
/user.ldif    (modified actual IP and dn for security)

After giving the correct password, all I get is this: 
ldap_bind: No such object (32)
        matched DN: dc=acds,dc=com


Any ideas what I''ve done?  This used to work in openldap. 

Thanks in advance.

Openldap uses a directory manager in the data tree - Fedora DS uses a 
directory manager that is a "pseudo" entry - cn=directory manager by 
default.

Just for the records: OpenLDAP allows to define a wide variety of names
for the directory manager, including the name of actual entries in the
database, a name in the naming context, or names outside the naming
context, at the admin''s discretion.
