Yes.  You cannot edit dse.ldif while the server is running.  If you 
really want to edit dse.ldif, you must shutdown the server first.

If you did stop the server first, make sure there is a blank line before 
dn: cn=replication manager,cn=config - a blank line is the entry 
delimiter in LDIF - if there is no blank line, the server may just 
report a warning to the error log and continue.

But you do not have to do that - you can just use ldapmodify -a to add 
this entry while the server is running
