You need to (manually) create the ou=groups,dc=registriesltd,dc=com,dc=au
entry before you add this as others have suggested.

You will probably have to add a schema extension before you add this
attribute -- have you read the stuff in the Fedora Directory Server
wiki about getting schema entries from OpenLDAP (in whose format the
samba schema extensions are provided) into FDS?

Alternatively, if you know the OID of the sambaGroupMapping object
class then you can use LdapImport to import the object and its
attributes directly from your running OpenLDAP DS into your running
FDS.

You don't want to attempt to import these attributes from your LDIF
file into FDS.

LdapImport should be able to help you out here:
