Given that, I'd guess that your directory server doesn't support plain 
text userPassword fields.  Try crypt()ing them.

# perl -e 'print crypt("123456", "AB") . "\n"'

So, then, your LDIF should have:

dn: cn=sambaadmin,dc=ddesign,dc=com
objectClass: person
cn: sambaadmin
sn: sambaadmin
userPassword: {crypt}ABiELdbxGY2fY
