adding bulk users through ldifde

Hi,

I am trying to import 200+ users into Active Directory using the ldifde command.
When I use: ldifde -i -f create.ldf I get the following error:

Connecting to "server.domain.com"
Logging in as current user using SSPI
Importing directory from file "Create.ldf"
Loading entries.
There is a syntax error in the input file
Failed on line 1.  The last token starts with 'ï'.
0 entries modified successfully.
An error has occurred in the program
No log files were written.  In order to generate a log file, please
specify the log file path via the -j option.

Below is a sample of the data I am importing from:

dn: CN=test,OU=users,DC=domain,DC=Com
changetype: add
cn: user1
sn: test
givenname: test
c: UK
l: LONDON
mail: ztest@hotmail.co.uk
instancetype: 4
displayname: test
userAccountControl: 512
logonHours:: gP8BgP8PgP8PgP8PgP8PgP8PgP8B
accountExpires: 130223808000000000
samAccountName: test
userprincipalname: test@domain.com
objectclass: user
homeDirectory: \\server\Users\test

Any help would be appreciated as its driving me nuts!

Many thanks,

Ambrish
