I don't think your entries where added to the database, did you look at it?
(ldapsearch/ldapvi/phpldapadmin)

ldapadd only adds non existing entries it does not modify (or overwrites)
existing ones, for that you must use ldapmodify with somewhat different ldif
syntax.

You'd may write a separate ldif containing only the _new_ entries and use
ldapadd to load it but perhaps ldapvi would be easier for you to use.

However there's no replacement to reading the documentation for these
utilities.
Odd.
