Ok.  This is a new issue.

Right, this is https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2324

This is a new one, perhaps I missed it.  If an AD user has a sub-folder, 
that user is not synced to IPA, and due to #355     winsync should not 
delete entry that appears to be out of scope it then is deleted from IPA?

In this case, should winsync sync the sub-folder, or ignore it, and just 
sync the user entry?
