The schema definition for organization is this:

objectclass ( 2.5.6.4 NAME 'organization'
        DESC 'RFC2256: an organization'
        SUP top STRUCTURAL
        MUST o
        MAY ( userPassword $ searchG... (lots of optional attributes)

So every time you add an "objectclass: organization" it most have an 
o=something.

I'm not 100% sure on this since all of my top level structures are 
o=something not dc=something.

Will this work? (pure guess just from looking at the schema)

dn: dc=thepennes, dc=net
objectclass: top
objectclass: dcObject
dc: thepennes


Or this is how I've typically done it:

dn: o=thepennes.net
dc: thepennes   # This might be incorrect to put here
objectclass: dcObject
objectclass: organization
o: thepennes.net
