I'm guessing you are authenticating against Novell? The standard LDAP error code 49, and Novell's error code -669 just mean "bad username or password", so aren't very helpful. One little tool that is very useful in debugging LDAP problems is the 'LDAP Browser'. http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/~gawor/ldap/ You can give this the same information that you used to configure LDAP in DSpace, and see if it lets you in. If it does, the problem will be with DSpace (although you say you have changed anything so hopefully it is fine), or if it doesn't, the problem will be with the LDAP service. If it does also fail, it gives you a nice tool to take to the LDAP administrators to show that connections are not working. They should be able to turn on tracing to watch authentication attempts to their LDAP service to see what is happening. Good luck!
