So I'm not quite sure what's going on here.  I try to start slapd, I  get
a "Duplicate attributeType error, but there is only one attribute  in all

type entry in core.schema looks like this:

attributetype ( 2.5.4.3 NAME ( 'cn' 'commonName' )
         DESC 'RFC2256: common name(s) for which the entity is known by'

Any ideas?

It looks to me like you modified the core.schema file to uncomment cn. Modifying the schema files shipped with openldap is a very bad idea. Some of the attributes are hard coded into the server (like cn) and that is why they are commented out. I suggest replacing your core.schema file with core.schema.default.
