Try this:
setup-ds-admin.pl -ddd -k
-ddd will output lots of debugging info (to /tmp/setupXXXXX.log) and -k 
will tell setup to keep the /tmp/setupXXXXX.inf file.  WARNING - the 
.inf file will contain your clear text passwords, so be sure to protect 
that file appropriately.

Then, paste each file to fpaste.org and paste the links in a reply 
email.  Again, be sure to scrub each file for sensitive information 
before pasting.
