Assuming that the line wrapping is due to the mailer, then the error
is in repeatedly adding the same attribute type; your entry shoud look
like

===============================
dn: cn=schema
changeType: modify
add: attributeTypes
attributeTypes: ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.10725.4.11.1.1 ...
attributeTypes: ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.10725.4.11.1.2 ...
-
add: objectClasses
objectClasses: ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.10725.4.11.2.1 ...
-
===============================
