problem with moddn

[John Von Essen <john@essenz.com>]

I have data in OpenLDAP like this:

dn: uid=ejones,ou=trad,ou=students,ou=people,o=domain.com
cn: Ed Jones
givenName: Ed
sn: Jones
and so on...

I want to change the ou's in the DN.

dn: uid=ejones,ou=trad,ou=students,ou=people,o=domain.com

gets changed to

dn: uid=ejones,ou=faculty,ou=people,o=domain.com

I created the following ldif file and executed ldapmodify -D "XXX" -w 
XXX -x -v -f file.ldif

dn: uid=ejones,ou=trad,ou=students,ou=people,o=domain.com
changetype: moddn
newrdn: uid=ejones,ou=faculty,ou=people,o=domain.com

I get the error:
ldap_initialize( <DEFAULT> )
modifying rdn of entry 
"uid=ejones,ou=trad,ou=students,ou=people,o=domain.com"
        new RDN: "uid=ejones,ou=Staff,ou=People,o=eastern.edu " (do not 
keep existing values)
modrdn completed
ldap_rename: Invalid DN syntax (34)
        additional info: invalid new RDN

I have tried changing newrdn to newdn?! But that just causes more 
errors:
ldap_initialize( <DEFAULT> )
ldapmodify: expecting "newrdn:" but saw "newdn:" (line 3 of entry 
"uid=ejones,ou=trad,ou=students,ou=people,o=domain.com")

Could someone point me in the right direction here? Thanks
