From memory ldbmcat adds an extra attribute to the end of each entry for the
last modification date which is probably the cause of the problems. It's not
difficult to write a Perl script to parse LDIF files and remove such things.
Send me private email if you want copies of some of my trivial LDIF
manipulation scripts such as an LDIF grep that returns complete records.
