Replace string with sed doesn't work

Hello,

Unfortunately I don't found any working solution for my problem :/

I have pass file for dovecot authorizing in this format:

Code:
user@domain.tld:{SSHA}Ykx2KVG/a2FKzjnctFFC2qFnrk9nvRmW:5000:5000::::
.
.
...

Now, I want to write some sh script for password changing for grep'ed user, in this case string: {SSHA}Ykx2KVG/a2FKzjnctFFC2qFnrk9nvRmW

Code:
#!/bin/sh

OLDPW=`grep user@domain.tld passfile | cut -d: -f2`
NEWPW=`dovecotpw -s ssha -p newpassword`

sed -e 's/$OLDPW/$NEWPW/g' passfile > tmpfile
mv tmpfile passfile

but sed command doesn't work. Output file is exactly the same as input. Generated password always starts with {SSHA} and often has special characters like "/" "+", and others...

OS: FreeBSD 8

Any help?... Smilie Thanks!
