I'm not sure why this would work in 2.1.12, but you might instead try 
something more like like:

dn: dc=au
objectClass: dcObject
dc: au

dn: dc=com,dc=au
objectClass: dcObject
dc: com

dn: dc=acenet,dc=com,dc=au
objectClass: dcObject
objectClass: organization
o: Ace Internet Services Pty Ltd
dc: acenet

dn: cn=Administrator,dc=acenet,dc=com,dc=au
objectClass: organizationalRole
cn: Administrator
