thanks for the advice,

modifying entry "o=kwe.com"
ldap_modify: Object class violation
	additional info: attribute 'copiedFrom' not allowed

ldif_record() = 65

I suggest you already got a value for 'copiedFrom'

Then you forgot the EQUALITY filter definition. Without this you can
only replace an attributevalue (or all values for this attribute),
delete or add value(s) (if none exists)

So define your attribute like this
attributetype (2.16.840.1.113730.3.18.6
   NAME 'copiedFrom'
   DESC'Standard Attribute'
   EQUALITY caseIgnoreMatch
   SYNTAX '1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15'
   )

Have a look at RFC2252 8.1 for valid equality filters.
