Everytime validate is called you're adding errors, nothing is
resetting errors so it stands to reason that you're going to get
duplicate (or triplicate if validate was called again etc) error
messages.
Given that activeldap seems to be using active model for its
validations stuff it's going to be very close to active record, so you
shouldn't be calling validate directly - call group.valid? to see if
the object is valid and if it isn't look at group.errors
