I do ldapsearch -LLL -x 'uid=ttest' and I get nothing

if I do ldapsearch -LLL -x  I get a list of things like:
dn: cn=Accounting Managers,ou=groups,dc=internal,dc=domain,dc=com
objectClass: top
objectClass: groupOfUniqueNames
ou: groups
description: blah, blah

But I can not see the group I added (developers) or the user (ttest).

The user has all the POSIX details filled in.

> uid: lmf

this doesn't work (as expected).

This is correct. Also group and shadow have "files ldap"

Same content on both files.

These are correct, BASE is set to internal.domain.com and URI to the
server I am running it on

Any help would be appreciated :)
