How do you have your groups layed out in the LDAP tree?  What is the structure? 
I'm using datatree right now but that's mostly because I haven't bothered
setting things up in LDAP.  But it should work.

Do you sure you have your objectclasses setup correctly?  Perhaps its filtering
out the users because you don't have the right objectclasses set.  I wrote the
code for listUser and its fairly simple.  It binds to the tree (using a binddn
if available).  It then creates an object filter and does a search.  You can
add some debug statements on line 312 to print out the filter and then try to
replicate the search using ldapsearch on the command line.  Maybe it has
something to do with LDAP ACL's.
