Read RFC2849. LDIF can be used to represent *all* directory modifications as 
text file.

Implement your own customized name-your-favourite-scripting-language-here 
script which accesses both directories via LDAP by using an appropriate LDAP 
module. Avoid messing around with LDIF and the command-line tools for that 
task. You will get better control, performance and error handling with your 
own sync program. It's not that hard to implement such a thing.
(Or ask somebody to do it for you...)
