	I built a simple database using ldif2ldbm and then just simply dump all
	the data, it gave above error. Below I will list all of the data. Please
	give the hint.

You need to define an object with 
 dn: dc=xyz.com

You also need to define objects with the DNs:
 dn: ou=Marketing, dc=xyz.com
 dn: ou=Accounting, dc=xyz.com

	================= test.ldif =======================
	dn: ou=Marketing cn=John Smith, dc=xyz.com

This DN is broken.  You probably meant to write:

  dn: cn=John Smith, ou=Marketing, dc=xyz.com

This one is similarly broken:

	dn: ou=Accounting cn=John Smith, dc=xyz.com

You probably meant:

  dn: cn=John Smith, ou=Accounting, dc=xyz.com
