I don't know why it worked in the past. The LDIF generator script is
wrong since it uses module ldif for generating entry records (provided
by a dict) instead of providing a modification list (list type) which
would make LDIFWriter.unparse() to generate a change record.
See __doc__ string in ldif.py:
class LDIFWriter:
[..]
def unparse(self,dn,record):
"""
dn
string-representation of distinguished name
record
Either a dictionary holding the LDAP entry {attrtype:record}
or a list with a modify list like for LDAPObject.modify().
"""

Should be:
modlist=[(ldap.MOD_ADD,'memberUid',[username])]
ldif_writer.unparse(dn,modlist)
BTW: Anyway I'd recommend to directly use a LDAP connection for this
task, not generate LDIF and then using command-line tools. This would
give you much better control in case of LDAP errors.
Ciao, Michael.
