After I wrote this email earlier I did some searches and found the
LDAPImport script.  I have messed with it all day and now have it
working pretty reliably.  I have two questions though.

1. If I try to search from the top of my AD Tree the script crashes and
says the search is too large, so I am forced to run this multiple times
and refine my baseDN each time.  Anyone know of a way to increase the
size of the search so I can do my entire tree each night?

2. I have Custom Fields added to my user information ( Manager, Title )
and I was wondering if the LDAPImport script can import into the custom
fields?

Thanks for any help,
