I am not commenting on this.

Yes.

All controls and extended operations are documented in their relevant
RFC, for syncprov this is RFC 4533. I am not aware of a digest of all
relevant OID's. But Michael Stroeder has undergone the work to add a
description to all OID's, so web2ldap displays the description of the
presented OID's.

Back to your problem. The only other reasons could be
- access control
- wrong search base in search string
- no activation of syncprov overlay
