Couple of things:

1. What type of authenitcation are you using? If simple drop the -x altogether. Instead use -D in the place of -x and follow it by the binddn 'cn=xxx'.

Your command should then appear as:

ldapadd -D 'cn=Manager,o=test,c=nl' -W -f /path/to/ldif

If that doesn't work:

2. Replace the -W with -w passwd and try again.

Your command should then appear as:

ldapadd -D 'cn=Manager,o=test,c=nl' -w passwd -f /path/to/ldif

Of course replace passwd with your password.
