Yeah... I don't think you are.  According to your account, you're only 
able to use Manager or sambaadmin when it's the rootdn in the openldap 
configuration file.  In that case, the plain text password from the 
configuration file, and not the password in the directory, is used.

Try crypt()ing the password, and see if that allows you to bind as the 
sambaadmin user, without specifying that account as the rootdn.
