This is not modify operation ldap file.
Modify operation ldif file should look like this:
(in example two values of userPassword will be added
to "cn=admin,dc=foo" object, and all old values of
userPassword attribute will be removed.

dn: cn=admin,dc=foo
changetype: modify
replace: userPassword
userPassword: {CRYPT}hashpasswordvaluehere
userPassword: {MD5}passwordhashedinotherway
