File Migration Utility with Existing users/Groups in Active Direct

I am migrating from Novell 6.5 to Active Directory. I currently have a
mirror of the users and groups from Novell and AD via Novell Identity Manager
(previously DirXML).

I ran a sample migration to create a mapping file via MSDSS. I had this
dump the users into a dummy OU. I want to modify that file to point to my
existing users/groups.

Once I modified the file FMU gives me an error that I have an invalid ADS
mapping path.
How can I map my files to my existing users/groups using the FMU? Is there
a way to trick it into using the existing users/groups?

Did anyone manage to get a solution for this? I am in the same situation now.
Raj maybe?
