Is it base64 encoded in AD, or only in 389?
Have you base64 decoded one of the values to see what it is?
Is it base64 encoded as seen by ldapsearch, or is it actually base64 
encoded in the db?  Note that in LDAP (but not necessarily in AD, which 
violates several LDAP standards), if there is trailing whitespace in an 
attribute value, ldapsearch will base64 encode the value when it 
displays it, since the trailing whitespace is not "visible".
