Check for the presence of a ^M at the end of each line in 
/mnt/PDC1-UsrSync/user.diff.
Text files written by DOS and Windows applications have CRLF line 
terminators, while UNIX-derived
systems require only LF, thus the extraneous ^M. Or just try the 
following as a quick fix:

	tr -d '\015' </mnt/PDC1-UsrSync/user.diff | while read Foo; do
useradd 
$Foo; done
