How do I import users from AD into the FIM web portal/metaverse when the EmployeeType attribute contains parentheses?

I am attempting to import users from my AD Management Agent into the FIM Metaverse. Some of the users have an employeeType attribute that contains data with parentheses therein. For example: Counsel (Self-Employed)

I am getting an error when I run the 'Export' run profile; failed-creation-via-web-services. Details of the error message are shown below.

What must I do to successfully import these users whose employeeType attribute contains parentheses?
