The one time I worked with OpenVPN, I used Mick Bauer's articles from 
Linux Journal:

<http://www.linuxjournal.com/magazine/paranoid-penguin-linux-vpns-openvpn>
<http://www.linuxjournal.com/magazine/paranoid-penguin-linux-vpns-openvpn-part-ii>
<http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1767732>
<http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/10744>

Maybe they'll help sort out what's happening.
