Dude -- 5 million entries sync'ed ??! If I had a big bell here I'd go 
ring it.

So anyway, my suggestion is to first get the thing working with a more 
managable
number of entries -- no more than 100. That'll allow you to more easily 
see what's up.
I suspect that the DN mapping scheme that Windows sync uses isn't 
matching up with
your DIT correctly, hence the duplicated entries.

This message I believe is benign : [28/Aug/2007:11:36:45 +0100] - 
slapi_str2entry: flags=0x0, entry="dn: 
CN=<something>,OU=<org.unit>,DC=<domain>,DC=<top domain>
you're seeing it presumably because you turned up the logging verbosity.

If you can, just begin with entires only on one side and let winsync 
make the copies,
rather than attempting to 'join' two sets of existing entries.
