hmm, I think that is a bug, I think what's missing is the samba root
account password, or more specific, the account for the samba root
account.

What I suggest, as you have yet failed to add any users to you ldap, is do an
 apt-get update
 apt-get dist-upgrade

then stop your ldap-server with 
 /etc/init.d/slapd stop

then remove your old ldap tree
 rm /var/lib/ldap/*

then set up your ldap again, with: 
 /usr/bin/ldap-debian-edu-install

then you should be able to add users to your ldap tree

oh btw, if you plan to add samba clients, (win2k, winXP) to your
installation, you will have to set the samba root account password with 
 smbpasswd root
