Most problably this a problem concerned to the user used on the start process.
If You're loged in as root and it start ok, try to make a 'su' to the user that openvpn runs and see what happens.

I've been using an OpenVPN client setup for months with success and now I decided to start it automatically during startup. I copied the config file to /etc/openvpn/tun1.conf and the used key file also : /etc/openvpn/key If I now start it with " /etc/init.d/openvpn start", it works fine. But if I reboot, it connects to the VPN server, but does not set the routes (I have "route-gateway 10.4.0.1" and "redirect-gateway def1" in the config file). The last lines after boot are : NET: Registered protocol familiy 10 lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions IPv6 over IPv4 tunneling driver eth1: no IPv6 routers present
