Courier IMAP problems resolved

Now I'm having trouble with Exim:
virtualuser:
 driver = accept
 user = ${lookup ldap{\
  user="cn=Manager,dc=localhost"\
  pass="password"\
  ldap://localhost/ou=users,dc=localhost\
  ?uid?sub?$local_part? }}
 #local_part_suffix = +* : -*
 #local_part_suffix_optional
 transport = local_delivery
 #cannot_route_message = Unknown user

Exim's power is prevalent in the examples.
But I have users stored in an LDAP database using the QMail Schema.

using this schema plus how i set it up the dn is cn=Full Name,ou=users,dc=localhost

the attribute mail holds the email address.
uid and sn both hold the localpart

for example my entry looks like
dn: cn=Mark Harviston,ou=users,dc=localhost
uid: mark
sn: mark
mail: mark@localhost

All I want to do is look up in LDAP the username (mark) and have it delivered to /opt/local/var/spool/mail/mark/ (as maildir)
I have it set up so it works with localusers only. (mark is a local user as well as an LDAP entry)

Right now the only the other entry is the imaginary person:
dn: cn=Jake Snake,ou=users,dc=localhost
mail: jake@localhost

mark can't send to jake and jake can't send to mark
however when mark sends to jake, i (mark) get a message in my box that says the message could not be delivered because user jake does not exist.

just to clarify
mark exists in passwd and ldap
jake exists only in ldap

Why is this so complicated?
It seems like a fairly common application of ldap in an MTA.
