This base.ldif file is way wrong. Try instead:

dn: dc=net
objectClass: top
objectClass: dcObject
dc: net

dn: dc=somesite, dc=net
objectClass: top
objectClass: dcObject
dc: somesite

dn: cn=Manager, dc=somesite, dc=net
objectClass: top
objectClass: organizationalRole
cn: Manager

dn: o=hosting, dc=somesite, dc=net
objectClass: top
objectClass: organization
o: hosting

See RFC 2849 for details.
