On my system, the entry which directs the server to load the NIS server
plugin is "cn=NIS Server".  If you set things up using the tools
provided, I'd have expected yours to look the same, so I can't be sure
you're editing the right entry.  Can you paste the LDIF for it?

The relevant section in the server's dse.ldif (and as Rich reiterated,
if you plan on editing the file directly, the server must be stopped
while you edit it) on my system looks like this:

  dn: cn=NIS Server,cn=plugins,cn=config
  nsslapd-pluginId: nis-plugin
  cn: NIS Server
  nis-tcp-wrappers-name: nis-server
  objectClass: top
  objectClass: nsSlapdPlugin
  objectClass: extensibleObject
  nsslapd-pluginDescription: NIS Server Plugin
  nsslapd-pluginEnabled: on
  nsslapd-pluginPath: /usr/lib64/dirsrv/plugins/nisserver-plugin.so
  nsslapd-pluginVersion: 0.26
  nsslapd-pluginVendor: redhat.com
  nsslapd-pluginType: object
  nsslapd-pluginInitfunc: nis_plugin_init
  creatorsName: cn=directory manager
  modifiersName: cn=directory manager
  createTimestamp: 20111115001037Z
  modifyTimestamp: 20111115001204Z
  nsslapd-pluginarg0: 541
  numSubordinates: 6

HTH,
