pattern substitution in a specified address space

[Bob Castleberry <bobkat79@charter.net>]

i've got a large ldif file for import into an ldap database, the problem 
is that through the massaging of the data i've ended up with quotes 
around all the telephone numbers and they won't import, so i'm wanting 
to remove the quotes, i break out my trusty sed and hammer out a quick 
and dirty command line but low and behold it doesn't appear to do 
anything (thats the scary part)

here is my sed command straight from the command line:
sed -e '/^[a-zA-Z]*\: \"\([0-9]*\) [0-9]*\-[0-9]*\"$/ s/\"//g' 
testing126.ldif > testing127.ldif

and here is an example of an entry i want it to remove the quotes from:

facsimileTelephoneNumber: "(901) 234-5678"

so have i flipped my lid, afaik this should match a pattern space like 
the example and then proceed to remove the quotes, any help would be 
really appreciated
