Marc, I think the ldif entries should look like this:

dn: dc=everyware, dc=ch
dc: everyware
o: EveryWare Ltd.
objectclass: organization
objectclass: dcObject

no leading blank on subsequent lines (leading blanks get interpreted
as continuation of the first line, and there is no dn matching such an 
entry.

separate each entry with a single blank line and your ldapadd command
should work.
