Tom,
  Sorry for the delay. Yes, you are correct. On a failure, I 
don't get that log message.

  I have managed to catch it in the act with an eclipse 
debugger attached to the process. Given the text and format of 
the fatal log message, I put in a breakpoint in line 128 of 
LdappcGrouperProvisioner.java, where the general Exception is 
caught in provisionGroups(). Unfortunately, by the time it gets 
to this point, most of the useful context of what is was doing 
is gone. The exception it's catching, however, looks very odd.

It's a NullPointerException, but the detailMessage and 
stackTrace for the exception are both null. And the cause is 
another, similar NullPointerException with null detailMessage & 
stackTrace & cause that's a NullPointerException, etc. ad 
nauseam.

I'll keep poking and see if I can find a better breakpoint.
