Yay!! I got it fixed with my own random logic :-)

for i in orcladmin PUBLIC portal portal_admin uddi_publisher orcladmin uddi_publisher1 ias_admin uddi_replicator
do
echo "deleting user $i"
sed "/${i}/d" all_users.ldif > all_users_temp.ldif
mv all_users_temp.ldif all_users.ldif
done

I know there must be a more refined way with sed as well... but it's a good start, I guess?
