That script just starts the task running in the server.  You can check 
the error log for status.  Or query the entry (using ldapsearch) whose 
DN ldif2db.pl prints out.

You can use ldif2db but you can only use that if the server is not running.

You mean, exporting an LDIF from AD and importing it directly into 
Fedora DS?  Or vice versa?  If you are going to use the Fedora DS AD 
Sync feature, you should let Fedora DS do the initial sync - do not 
attempt to manually export/import from AD to Fedora DS.  I'm almost 
certain it will not work without heavy data massaging.
