I plan on installing the FDS with the rpm from:
http://directory.fedora.redhat.com/wiki/Download
and use the fedora-ds-1.0.2-1.RHEL4.i386.opt.rpm

Ah, Now I see the problem. What about only untarring the following
directories from my backed up DS from /opt/fedora-ds:
admin-serv
alias
slapd-[hostname]
Add shared/config, clients/orgchart/config.txt,
clients/dsgw/context,
clients/dsgw/pbconfig, and clients/dsgw/config to that list as well.
Then I should have my config, ssl, and directory with my 99user schema.
Would this be cleaner?
Thanks again.
