by looking at the message:

error:0607607D:digital envelope
routines:PKCS5_v2_PBE_keyivgen:unsupported prf: error:06074078:digital
envelope

I aree with Gert as it sounds like the key was encrypted with a method
that is not available to the SSL library you are using on this host.

I'd follow Gert suggestion and just decrypt the key before giving it to
openvpn.
