Using dsconfigldap to bind to OD

I am using the following command:

dsconfigldap -f -a my.od.server -u odadminname -p odadminpassword -v


to try and bind the machine to an OD master, but it is unsuccessful and gives me a "Bus Error" - real handy error description..

Anyway, here is the output of the command:
dsconfigldap verbose mode
Options selected by user:
Force (un)binding option selected
Add server option selected
Server name provided as <my.od.server>
Network username provided as <odadminname>
Network user password provided as <odadminpassword>
Local username determined to be <root>

Step 1 - Server Information Discovery
   Status:  Success - Server Responded.

Step 2 - Validating Record/Attribute Mapping
   Status:  Success - Valid Record/Attribute Mapping

Step 3 - Detecting Required Security Levels and Binding requirements
   Status:  Success

   WARNING:  No Security Levels configured by Administrator!

      Your LDAP server supports Secure authentication.

   Directory Binding is ENABLED but OPTIONAL.

   Directory Binding is being Forced as requested.
Bus error


I am running the command as root. I can run the command without the -f switch and it runs successfully but does not bind the machine to OD. I can manually run Directory Access and create a new LDAP Connection, the "Directory Binding" section pops up and I enter the odadmin usernamd and password and it binds successfuly.

It it possible to do this through dsconfigldap?
