I hope not.  It really should do an LDAP BIND operation, which means it 
sends the clear text password to the server in the BIND request (for 
simple username/password auth).

So, try
ldapsearch -x -D "uid=someuser,ou=People,dc=vuw,dc=ac,dc=nz" -w 
thepasssword -s base -b ""
That will test to see if that user exists and that the password is correct.

looking in the wrong place would be my guess, based on the err=32 in the 
previous logs you posted.
