I got the same issue. (network-manager-openvpn 0.3.2svn2342-1ubuntu4
installed, ubuntu 7.10 "gutsy")
I investigated trouble and found:
1. Option "Edit VPN connection -> Optional -> X.509: Allow server
certificate without server extension" doesn't needed when using
preshared key. If it unchecked, commandline option "--ns-cert-type
server" is added to openvpn call and all things gets broken. If it
checked, that option is not added.
2. When using preshared key, openvpn doesn't pass environment variable
"trusted_ip" to "--up" script, so nm-openvpn-service-openvpn-helper
reports "didn't receive a VPN Gateway from openvpn" and returns error
code. I wrote small and ugly patch, which can help authors of nm-
openvpn to understand problem and to find better solution:
