First of all, I suggest you drop 2.2.27 and install a decent 2.3 from
scratch. Moving from what you call "Old" to what we call "Ancient"
would put people in a better mood as to whether spend time providing
further suggestions.
Then you should provide a bit more information about what error you're
encountering. For example, post the contents of the LDIF file that
caused the issue. Since you appear to have a format problem, make sure
you only sanitize the contents as little as possible for security
reasons (if you change a username, make sure you don't hide that it
contained fancy chars, and so). You should run ldapadd with debug
switched on (-d something; libldap mostly uses "trace" so you should be
fine with it). From your posting, it is not clear what the offending
string is. Is the stars and the double quotes part of the DN? By
inspecting the real LDIF it should be immediately clear what's wrong.
