This is not an error: if you use ldapmodify then you must use
an appropriate LDIF to have an add operation, e.g.

dn: <some dn>
changetype: add
<attribute values>

If you use ldapadd (or ldapmodify -a, which is the same)
then you can use an LDIF without changetype info.

Now OpenLDAP enforces RFC2251 checks on correspondence
between entry and dn, so if you use dc=pivod in the rdn,
a "dc" attribute with the same value must be present in
the entry (note that for multivalued attrs you can also
have other values in the entry).
