Just about every directory environment topology I've seen is unique.  
You need to adapt the Turba config to whatever your topology is, not 
expect Turba to automatically work with your topology.

I haven't used the LDAP personal address book, but I went back and 
looked at the config and the documentation and it seems 
straightforward.  I read back through this thread and you said that you 
created the additional user ou entries by hand and the entry you posted 
looked correct.

But, where I see the problem is that when your entry is being added, it 
is not using your userid as part of the DN, but instead a Turba Unique 
ID.  For instance, your personal LDAP address book DN would be:

ou=poltsi,ou=personal_addressbook,dc=our,dc=domain

But, from your debug output, it looks like Turba is trying to add an entry to:

uid=20051103152713.5ost2ejj20w0 at groupware.our.domain,ou=personal_addressbook,dc=our,dc=domain

So the problem seems you're getting a Unique ID, not a userid, for that 
component.

You do have the following entry at the top of the personal ldap config 
in sources.php, right?

$uid = Auth::getBareAuth();
