It will be a manual process, but you might be able to create the user 
first in AD, then manually create the user in 389, with the ntUniqueID 
field set to the objectGUID of the AD entry.  389 winsync uses the uid 
-> samAccountName for the initial mapping, but once that is established, 
it uses ntUniqueID -> objectGUID.
