Change the scope from 'base' to 'sub'. From your description, it sounds like the LDAP search is only doing a 'base' search (only looking in the current OU). Changing the scope to 'sub' would allow the search to look at the current OU and all OUs underneath it.
If they don't give you that option, you're probably out of luck. The only other solution would be to stuff all of your users into one OU, which is probably not what you want to do.
