Your problem is here, you've only got one objectClass defined for
this particular user which is posixAccount. You need a structural
object (which posixAccount isn't) to add the entry.

Something like organizationalPerson or inetOrgPerson.

You can view the object classes at:

http://ldap.akbkhome.com/

If you look at the BNC syntax for inetOrgPerson and posixAccount
you'll notice inetOrgPerson is defined as "SUP STRUCTURAL" and
posixAccount is "SUP AUXILIARY".

dn: uid=jdoe, ou=people, dc=gmsg, dc=co, dc=za
uid: jdoe
objectClass: organizationalPerson
objectClass: posixAccount
uidNumber: 1001
gidNumber: 100
homeDirectory: /home/jdoe
userPassword: password
loginShell: /bin/bash
