Oh my god.

Apparently you have to delete the word "set" on line 4. And then it 
works perfectly. WTF?

2 hours to figure that out. Fantastic. >_<

It turns out that the DN is the user's real name, followed by the names 
of all the millions of OUs that the object is in, followed by the domain 
name. So my user account's DN is something like

   CN=Andrew, OU=Information Technology, OU=Departments, OU=Regular 
Users, OU=UK, OU=Sites, OU=Managed, DC=foo, DC=com

I much prefer referring to my user account by username. It's only 8 
characters. :-P

Still, at least fetching the email address worked without a hitch. And 
that was shortly followed by me obtaining the data I actually wanted: 
the date of the last password change. (WHY is this not in the GUI in the 
first place??)
