[Samba] smbldap-useradd says "Error: modifications require authentication at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/smbldap_tools.pm line 1056."

I'm trying to get Samba 3.0.23d set up to run as a PDC on SuSE 10.2.  
I'm getting *very* close, but I have one small issue.
I can't add users.  When I run:
smbldap-useradd -a <a new user> -m

I get the following in the messages file:

Please let me know if anything else is needed.  I can get the "net 
groupmap list" that the populate script added, so I think it's almost there.
