Shouldn't that be:

jpegphoto:: BaSe64EncoD1NGChaRAcTersG9zaG9wIDMuM

With double colons indicating binary encoding?
I know that all my users with æøå in their names get encoded with Base64,
which shows up after a :: in LDIF files.

With only a single colon I suspect you would simply get the plain ASCII
data into the attribute, containing rubbish that could certainly never be
interpreted as valid JPEG data.
