I've never used the GUI tools to which you refer, but the SSH-based 
connection you're getting probably doesn't have anything resembling 
real filesystem semantics.

It's more like FTP: you can pipe any single file over the connection, 
edit it, and ship it back. Beyond that, however, it doesn't have the 
moxie to allow an application to create and manipulate multiple 
filehandles on the remote mount point.

I don't use OpenOffice.org, so I don't really know all that much about 
its requirements, but if it wants a real filesystem, use NFS or CIFS. 
You can use either one over an OpenVPN tunnel, although you'll 
probably be somewhat bothered by the latency (if not the bandwidth).
