If you take a look at the code that loads the authentication backends ( http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/trunk/django/contrib/auth/__init__.py#L8) you'll see it assumes there is at least one '.' in each string of AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS. So, moving your LDAPBackend into a module underneath the root of your project should fix your problem. I'd say there's a bit of a bug in Django here, though. Either that code should handle dotless strings, or give a better indication of the problem. The symptom of having the last letter of your backend string chopped off is pretty mysterious.
