Well, it depends what objectname is.
If objectname='nameoftheobject', then objectname is just a string. So 
in effect the above statement says "give me the attribute 'title' of 
this string". A string doesn't have an attribute of 'title', so it fails.

What you probably want to do is say something like
  <dtml-var expr="_[objectname].title">.

"_[objectname]" says "search the namespace for an object with the name 
contained in the string variable objectname and give it to me".
