Answering my own question here, perhaps it helps somebody else:

I have now taken another approach on this: After the classicupgrade, the 
domain is basically ready to roll, so you can also use native windows AD 
tools to update your samba4 users with details from samba3 openldap:

1. use lam to export your users to a .csv file
	(https://www.ldap-account-manager.org/lamcms/)
2. adjust columnnames etc to match what you want to copy to AD
3. use any tool to update the samba4 AD from a csv file
	(I used http://www.manageengine.com/products/ad-manager)

Much easier (to me, anyway) than updating with a script and ldbmodify.

Have a nice weekend,
