i use this line (on my ldif file) to add a picture on my LDAP directory:

jpegPhoto: < file///etc/ldap/pictures/test.jpg

Are you sure that you aren't missing a colon (':')? According to the manpage of ldapadd the line should look like this:

jpegPhoto: < file:///etc/ldap/pictures/test.jpg

Moreover, this bug appears to have already been fixed. It is recommended to check the latest version before reporting bugs.

Oh, and that special syntax is a function of ldapadd/ldapmodify, not some standard way of importing images - so using it with slapadd won't work.

well, that's a SHOULD in RFC2849, so it is indeed a standard way of importing values (works with any value) using LDIF. The fact it doesn't work with slapadd should be seen as a limitation of that tool, which it is not intended for use with arbitrary LDIF but rather with LDIF produced by slapcat.
