when run ('./rmgroup users') it outputs -

ldapdelete -W -D "cn=Manager,dc=orbweavers,dc=co,dc=uk" "cn=users,
ou=groups,dc=orbweavers,dc=co,dc=uk"
Enter LDAP Password:
ldap_bind: Invalid DN syntax (34)
        additional info: invalid DN

However, if I copy and paste the echod statement (the first line
of the output) straight to the shell, it run fine.

What I do in this cases is create a script called "list_args.sh":

#!/bin/sh
printf "\nlist_args.sh at `date +%H:%M:%S` with \$# = $#\n"
# Process all parameters.
N=0
while test $# != 0 ; do
    N=$(($N+1))
    printf "    \$$N = [%3d] '$1'\n" ${#1}
    shift
done

Then in your script, replace the ldapdelete command with
list_args.sh.  That way you'll see *exactly* what ldapdelete
is seeing for parameters, and that might help.
