result 32: no such object

["Dr. Michael J. Chudobiak" <mjc@avtechpulse.com>]

Can someone clue me in to why I can add entries to my LDAP database, and dump them with slapcat, but I can't search them?

This is my LDIF input:

	dn: dc=avtechpulse,dc=com
	dc: avtechpulse
	objectClass: dcObject
	objectClass: organizationalUnit
	ou: Avtech

	dn: ou=People,dc=avtechpulse,dc=com
	ou: People
	objectClass: organizationalUnit

	dn: uid=mjc,ou=People,dc=avtechpulse,dc=com
	uid: mjc
	objectClass: account

Which is added successfully:
	
	slapadd -v -l ldap6
	added: "dc=avtechpulse,dc=com" (00000001)
	added: "ou=People,dc=avtechpulse,dc=com" (00000002)
	added: "uid=mjc,ou=People,dc=avtechpulse,dc=com" (00000003)

But searching on it fails!

	ldapsearch -v -x -D "cn=ldapadmin,ou=users,dc=avtechpulse,dc=com" -w 
	"notarealpassword" -b "dc=avtechpulse,dc=com"

	ldap_initialize( <DEFAULT> )
	filter: (objectclass=*)
	requesting: ALL
	# extended LDIF
	#
	# LDAPv3
	# base <dc=avtechpulse,dc=com> with scope sub
	# filter: (objectclass=*)
	# requesting: ALL
	#

	# search result
	search: 2
	result: 32 No such object

	# numResponses: 1


Am I doing anything obviously wrong?
