I cannot replicate your problem. When I click on a OOo document or spreadsheet, it opens as expected (takes some time, because first X11 has to open). Because I have several versions of OOo on my iMac, I can either doubleclick (Open) or use Apple-click (Open with... and choose my OOo version). Maybe the solution for you is to click on an OOo document, then go to File Info (Apple-i), look at the 5th item: Open with, choose OpenOffice.org and then click on Change All.
