Ok. The problem turned out to be permissions. Somehow during my initial messing around with setting up openldap I had created two of the three database files and assigned them to root:root. When starting up openldap I use -u ldap to switch to the user ldap.
Obviously when I run ldapadd I'm unable to perform the operation (again running as user ldap). Not sure how the rights were messed up. Now everyone is happy again :-) Thanks to all who patiently helped me work through our ldap issues. I've learned a great deal these last few weeks!
