It's recommended to use ldapadd when adding records to ldap.
Here's a sample template I use:

dn: cn=FullName, dc=domain, dc=com
cn: FullName
sn: Company
mail: email
objectclass: person
objectclass: organizationalPerson
objectclass: inetOrgPerson

(Fill in actual values for FullName, domain, Company ,and email

ldapadd command should be:
ldapadd -D "cn=root, dc=domain, dc=com" -W -f filename

Should also check out Messageware from www.nexor.com - free software
to create Outlook-style addressbook from an ldap database.
It works great - we use it all the time on our client linux mail servers.
