I got the patch installed OK, env variable set, and the script is being 
run when do user modifications. Great! :) But the action (add/del/mod) 
and the dn is not being supplied as arguments.

For testing's sake I've made a very simple script just to capture the 
env variables.

Do you have any suggestion to why the arguments is not getting supplied 
to the script?
