You're probably lacking at least kerberos keys. Did you set the 
krbprinicpalname on each entry?

In order to generate the kerberos keys you need a cleartext password 
which is why it isn't as simple as loading an LDIF. If you change the 
password of your users that should generate the keys assuming they have 
the appropriate object class (krbprincipalaux).

We are working on a mechanism where a user will be able to authenticate 
using their migrated password and this will generate the kerberos keys 
but it isn't quite finished yet.
