Thank you for your help.  I was able to get delta-syncprov working (and I would not have known that was the 'right' way to do it without your advice).  I had to make a great deal of changes to the overall setup so posting the 'changes' would be cumbersome, and would most likely contradict my previous configs.  Thank you again for pointing me in the right direction as my understanding of LDAP has matured.  

My issue had to do with LDAP as the backed for SAMBA, and I was able to use the samba-wiki to help with my problem.
