I had this exact problem too.
Did you compile OpenLDAP with CRYPT support?
You can test by doing a:

# slappasswd -c {CRYPT}

and see if it spits out a crypted password. If it says "password
generation failed" you do not have crypt support compiled in

Recompile and then try setting LDIF userPassword values with

 userPassword: {crypt}mYh45h3dPa55w0rD

and it will work.
The double :: means base64 encoded...
