My brain is seriously fried right now, but I'm pretty sure that the  
'guid' for each record doesn't actually matter, since I see that it  
is auto-generated.  For your issue, you need to add a guid property  
in your DirectoryService implementation, like 'guid = "012345678-9abc- 
def0-1234-56789abcdef0"'.
