I was going to tell you that in OpenLDAP 2.1, what you are trying to do
will most likely fail (since inetOrgPerson is a structural objectclass
and you are NOT allowed to change the structural objectclass of an entry
after it is created).  However, you stated that you are using openLDAP
2.0.23 -- so that argument won't hold any water.

Therefore, I will assume that what you gave us was the full content of
your LDIF file and therefore the problem has got to be that you need to
include a few attributes which are required by the inetOrgPerson
objectclass and are not presently part of the entry you are trying to
modify.  The inetOrgPerson objectClass requires that you have values for
the cn and sn attributes (inherited from the Person objectClass).
