The ldif2db.pl script creates a task entry that does the actual import of
the LDIF file and generates the indexes. The "modification complete" message
corresponds to the task entry that gets created by ldif2db.pl and not the
actual import process. You should be able to see the status of the import
(including any errors) in the LDAP server error log. Alternatively, if the
server is shutdown, ldif2db can be used to perform a similar import.
