It seems to be failing whilst trying to replicate the changes, which 
shouldn't be a big problem, because normal replication should do it.

What I am struggling to get my head around is, why does 'import samba' 
fail when 'import samba.drs_utils' doesn't ?

If you run 'pydoc samba', you will find that 'drs_utils' is part of 
'samba', so should be available, especially as the full path is used 
'samba.drs_utils'
