LDAP weird error on updating attributes, no error on reading

Question

I have to modify the email addresses of only some users in the LDAP database, hence I am doing a search for all objects with the specified email address and updating it using the modifyAttribute function......
When I just read the properties the code works fine, but when I try to modify the attribute it throws me the following error
javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: [LDAP: error code 32 - No Such Object]; remaining name 'strsdistrid=3+strsdistruserid=isdfv01,ou=autodistributionobjects'
javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: [LDAP: error code 32 - No Such Object]; remaining name 'strsdistrid=3+strsdistruserid=isdfv01,ou=autodistributionobjects'

here is the code.....
while (answer.hasMore()) {
SearchResult sr = (SearchResult)answer.next();
sr.setRelative(false);
System.out.println(">>>" + sr.getName());
String dn = sr.getName();
Attributes attrs = sr.getAttributes();
String givenName = " ";
String surName = " ";
try {
givenName = attrs.get("mail").toString();
} catch (Exception err) {
givenName = " ";
System.out.println(">>> [Email addresses] " + givenName);
try {
surName = attrs.get("document").toString();
} catch (Exception e2) {
surName = " ";
System.out.println(">>> [Object name] " + surName);
ModificationItem mods[] = new ModificationItem[1];
// Put in mail
Attribute mod0 = new BasicAttribute( "strsdistremailaddress","[email protected]");
mods[0] = new ModificationItem(DirContext.REPLACE_ATTRIBUTE, mod0);
System.out.println("Modifications set");
ctx.modifyAttributes(sr.getName(),mods);
All help is appreciated.
