In the mean time I have also tried another LDAP admin tool. I used Apache's Directory Studio (http://directory.apache.org/studio/) and that seems to work fine.
I also found out that my problems with the LDAP Account Manager were due to a misconfiguration on my part (I had turned on SSH key management in the user interface, but that requires a change in the LDAP schema's that I hadn't applied). Now I am able to use LAM to edit my LDAP. It did need Andrew Schulman's fix in reply #38 to get this working though.
I will try to set up a new LDAP server from scratch using Ubuntu 10.04 in the near future to see if my problems are related to the upgrade from Ubuntu 9.10.
