I haven't been able to ldapadd yet with OpenLDAP.

I've got a vanilla -ldbm backend, with the recommended pthreads configuration.
My slapd.conf includes
  directory	/usr/local/ldap
  suffix	"o=MYORG, c=US"
  rootdn	"cn=root, o=MYORG, c=US"

All my attempts to
  ldapadd -D "cn=root, o=MYORG, c=US" -w secret </tmp/myldif
yield
  adding new entry cn=someone, o=MYORG, c=US
  ldap_add: No such object

A
  ldapsearch -s base -b cn=monitor "objectclass=*"
run yields plausible results.

I consider it extremely likely that I have a comma out of place,
or something comparable, but I'm making no progress finding it.
I need help.
