You were trying to add "uid=root,ou=People,dc=mdah,dc=state,dc=ms,dc=us"
so to check for the parent you should use
"ou=People,dc=mdah,dc=state,dc=ms,dc=us" as search base with ldapsearch.
If you further get "no such object, then you should go down all the way
to your database's suffix.

Why do you use simple bind ("-x") when doing ldapadd, and SASL bind (no
"-x") when doing ldapsearch?
