"That's not a bug that's a feature!" :)

The error message in Madi's post mentioned this but it is worth expanding 
on:  OpenVPN will not allow two computers with the same Common Name (CN) 
to connect at the same time by default.  This bevaviour can be disabled at 
the server, eg if you are using a shared cert.

Cheers,

Rob
