If you have executed / verified the tips in the troubleshooting section 
already, then I suppose it's time to increase the verbosity of the kolab-
webadmin.

Please execute the following steps;

# cd /usr/share/kolab-webadmin/
# sed -r -i -e 's|^(\s*)//console|\1console|g' `find . -type f -name "*.php"`

Log out (if logged in) and log back in to the Kolab Web Administration Panel, 
and navigate to "Users" - should the "Add user" button still be missing, could 
you please send me the /var/log/kolab-webadmin/* files in their entirety?

The latest version of pykolab (that ships setup-kolab and friends) has 
verbiage that illustrates that the 'nobody' user & group that are requested 
input for are in fact the POSIX accounts under which the Directory Server is 
supposed to run, rather than user accounts that are being created in the 
Directory Server for use in a web admin or client.

Please also note that the First Login chapter in the documentation explicitly 
states to login with "cn=Directory Manager"[1]. This is, after all, the actual 
(global) LDAP server administrator account.

If you wish the setup requests input for an initial user account that is to be 
created as a Kolab Administrator (for the one domain the setup sets up), then 
I suggest you log an enhancement request in Bugzilla[2].

Kind regards,
