Error:

Error: LDAPLocalException: com.novell.ldap.ldif_dsml.LDIFReader: modify record not ends with '-' in the record starting on line 38 of the file. (82) Local Error

Fix:

• go to the line hinted in the error (here: 38)
• get the block of the entry which is modified, for instance:

dn: cn=foo,ou=OUfoos,ou=Groups, dc=DCfoos
changetype: modify
add: uniqueMember 
uniqueMember: cn=myFoo, ou=OUfoos, ou=Groups, dc=DCfoos

• then add a character '-' at the end of this block, you get:

dn: cn=foo,ou=OUfoos,ou=Groups, dc=DCfoos
changetype: modify
add: uniqueMember 
uniqueMember: cn=myFoo, ou=OUfoos, ou=Groups, dc=DCfoos

Error:

 LDAPLocalException: com.novell.ldap.ldif_dsml.LDIFReader: Version line must be the first meaningful line(on line 1 of the file) (82) Local Error 

Fix: add this line at the bottom of your Ldif file:

 version: 1
