I messed around with OpenVPN once and I recall getting the same errors. We moved to PPTPD since all of our customers are using Windows and the built-in pptpd client is much sexier than the OpenVPN client.
This is all off the top of my head so it's probably going to be more confusing than helpful, but here it is... I seem to recall that my problem stemmed around routing. This won't be 100% accurate, but the way an OpenVPN connection works is that it establishes a connection between the client and server on something like a 10.0.8. network. I think the server gets 10.0.8.1 and the client 10.0.8.2...etc. In order for traffic to be routed correctly, both client and server have to have a routing table entry that indicates what traffic to send onto the 10.0.8 network. It sound like your server doesn't know this. Take a look at the 'route' command on the server and see if there is a line that indicates 192.168.1 traffic is supposed to go out the 10.0.8 network. You can control this somewhere in the server configuration file with...the 'push' attribute, I think? Maybe that will be enough to send you in the right direction.
