As well documented in many places, continuation of a line is marked
by a blank in the initial column.  You're writing two separate
statements:

attributetype

and

(
            1.3.6.1.4.1.15755.1.1
            NAME ( 'puid' 'pivodUniqueIdentifier' )
            SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.22 )

obviously both of them make no sense to slapd.
