Rather than inventing your own sed script I'd recommend to use a decent
scripting language together with a ready-to-use LDIF module. Even better
is to send changes to the directory via LDAP immediately.

Personally I prefer Python since there are various modules sharing a
common DB-API for accessing different RDBMS and it's fairly easy to use
python-ldap. But being the maintainer of python-ldap I'm biased off
course...

Ciao, Michael.
