slapadd doesn't sanity check like ldapadd does (against a running DSA)

Did you add dc=test,dc=com first?

dn: dc=test, dc=com
objectclass: top

dn: ou=test, dc=test, dc=com
objectclass: top
objectClass: organisationalUnit
ou: test

Always include "objectclass: top" and always list objectclass attributes
(or any other "meta data" attributes) before actual values.  Not
necessarily required, but will avoid some gotchas.
