It's a bit of a pain, isn't it? :)

What is the setup of the ADAM instance? Remember from the readme that it
has to be the same as your Active Directory domain you are trying to
synch/copy. So in your case, DC=Name1,DC=CompanyName,DC=com is also what
your ADAM path needs to be.

That said, it seems the trick is to make sure the config file is valid XML
(your's seems to be since it prompts for password; you wouldn't get that if
it wasn't well formed I've come to find out),and you need to be able to
specify your target-RDN value. That's your ADAM store and it gets
concatenated during the process (you can use verbose logging to see it).

Drop me a note off-line if you want a copy of a test config file and
configuration information that worked for me. Drop me a note at al.mulnick
