OK, you are invoking two different things there. OpenVPN has provided
only the IP connectivity. Your problem is more likely to be with the
use of fish://, which is KDE-specific, and I assume that you are
opening the xls|doc files with OpenOffice, which as a non-KDE program
has to try to do something different.

I'd recommend trying to use sshfs to mount your remote folders on a
local filesystem instead, so that non-KDE apps (in fact, all apps) can
access these remote folders natively.
