Hi Quanah, Thanks for the reply- in the meantime is there any way I can apply some "first-aid" to work around the issue and make the ghost OUs appear as expected? I've also asked a similar question on the Grouper mailing list as it may be a case of "garbage in, garbage out".
The behaviour of OpenLDAP is a little bit odd as well though so I'll file an ITS.
