CFLDAP and bulk updates ?

Question

I am using CF 7 Enterprise and I am looking to bulk update
active directory with content contained in a .csv file.
The csv file contains content such as telephone number,
e-mail address, name, job title, section etc.
How can I use CFLDAP to bulk update records in Active
Directory from content in the csv.
With the relevant data for each employee contained in AD
being updated with the relevant info contained in the CSV?
i.e. updating or adding the employee phone number in their
Active Directory listing with their correct phone number contained
in the CSV file.
And how would the script know which records to update in AD
with the correct data for that employee ? The unique field for each
employee is their 'employeeno' which is contained in both the csv
and as an Active Directory attribute.
Any ideas ?
I.E.

Hi Kevin,
The before statement trigger should fire, as you are executing <n> UPDATE statements, you are not executing 1 UPDATE statement.
If this UPDATE statement also has a for each row trigger, this trigger will fire as many times as there are rows updated.
The issue is however you have <n> UPDATE statements, one statement for each pass of the loop.
Your expectation therefore is incorrect.
