I think it's true that we will never know... unless relics from a variety of sources pop up and somehow they are able to match DNA in all cases to the DNA in this tomb. THAT would be a compelling case. I saw in the Time article that they did in fact perform some DNA tests on the remains in this tomb to determine probablilities about the relationships between some of the buried. I'm not sure how accurate that information is at this point, or if there are any other supposed relics that contain body fluids or tissue. But if I had to bet, I'd say we'll never know for sure if this was the tomb of the man who inspired Christianity.
That said... even if it COULD be proven scientificilly that this is THAT Jesus and his family... why do I get the feeling the church would STILL deny it, and most if its followers would willfully choose to disbelieve the facts in front of them? Delusions do not die easily.
