You don't need sub-suffixes for that.  You usually only need a 
sub-suffix if the underlying data needs to be distributed somehow like 
for a separate replication agreement, or a chaining database.

When you setup your directory server using the setup-ds-admin.pl script, 
it creates the console admin user and adds some ACIs to the suffix you 
specified.  If you create another suffix, those ACIs do not apply - you 
can copy them if you want to.  One of the limitations of the ACI system 
is that you cannot set an ACI for the creation of a top level entry for 
a suffix - you must the directory manager to do that.  However, if you 
are trying to create the entry for a sub-suffix you created in the 
console, and the parent suffix was created by setup-ds-admin.pl, you 
should be able to create the entry using the console admin user.
