I'm not sure if that can actually work.

Here's an excerpt of what we use inside Horde_Hooks that does the job:

     public function prefs_init($pref, $value, $username, $scope_ob)
     {
       // [...]
	
           $factory = 
$GLOBALS['injector']->getInstance('Horde_Core_Factory_Ldap');
           $ldap = $factory->create('horde', $factory->getConfig('auth'));
           try {
             $userdn = $ldap->findUserDN($username);
             $user = $ldap->getEntry($userdn, array('mail','sn'));
             $email = $user->getValue('mail', 'single');
           } catch (Horde_Ldap_Exception $e) {
             Horde::log("prefs_init: user $username: Error looking up 
LDAP information", 'WARN');
             Horde::log($e, 'WARN');
             return $value;
           } catch (Horde_Exception_NotFound $e) {
             Horde::log("prefs_init: user $username: User not present in 
LDAP", 'WARN');
             Horde::log($e, 'WARN');
             return $value;
           }

      // [...]
     }
	


For all I know, it doesn't matter if the file is named hooks.php or 
hooks.local.php.
