That's probably cause of glibc trying to resolve group names to numeric id's to apply to the device nodes. Usually disks have the group "disk" assigned, but your ldap setup prevents the resolving at this stage of booting. Care to try to replace the textual names by the numerial id's in /etc/udev/rules.d/* and if that works we need to think about a solution for this...
