First, did you set and eDirUserAccount and eDirPassword? 
This user is the
one that should have sufficient rights to access the user
object attributes.
 Second, what is your eDirLdapTimeout set to? Is it possible
that you just
have a slow LDAP server searching through a large tree and
it just times out
before the search is done.  If so then you can either narrow
your search
tree or lengthen the timeout.
