Need Help creating new user in Active Directory

Question

I am trying to create a new user in active directory via a java application. I have included the code that I am using. I am able to successfully bind to Active Directory. I have been able to change passwords, and delete users, but I have not been able to create a user.
ldapHost : "mta101.DOM101.CEL.ACC.AF.MIL"
domainName: "dc=dom101,dc=cel,dc=acc,dc=af,dc=mil"
existing account: CN=Brett K. Humpherys,OU=Users,OU=CEL
I get the following error on the createSubcontext statement:
javax.naming.directory.InvalidAttributeValueException: [LDAP: error code 21 - 00000057: LdapErr: DSID-0C09098B, comment: Error in attribute conversion operation, data 0, v893 ; remaining name 'CN=test1,OU=Users,OU=CEL'
I have commented out the password portion and change the ObjectCategory to a 32 and get the same error.

        BasicAttribute userPrincipalName = new BasicAttribute
                                      ("userPrincipalName", "[email protected]");
        attrs.put(userPrincipalName);
        BasicAttribute instanceType = new BasicAttribute("instanceType", "4");
        attrs.put(instanceType);
        BasicAttribute objectCategory = new BasicAttribute
                  ("objectCategory","CN=User,CN=Schema,CN=Configuration," + domainName);
        attrs.put(objectCategory);
        String newVal = new String("\"password\"");
        byte _bytes[] = newVal.getBytes("Unicode");
byte bytes[] = new byte[_bytes.length - 2];
System.arraycopy(_bytes, 2, bytes, 0, _bytes.length - 2);
BasicAttribute attribute = new BasicAttribute("unicodePwd");
attribute.add((byte[]) bytes);
attrs.put(attribute);
ctx.createSubcontext("CN=test1,OU=Users,OU=CEL", attrs);
ctx.close();
catch (NameAlreadyBoundException nex)
System.out.println("User ID is already in use, please select a different user ID ...");
catch (Exception ex)
System.out.println("Failed to create user account... Please verify the user information...");
ex.printStackTrace();
return new GblStatus();
Any help would be much appreciated.
