Is your openvpn logging  through syslog or to a seperate log file (an
option in the config file)?  I would check to see if openvpn has logged
any errors.   Other than that, if it starts and runs fine after the
system is up, then it must be starting too early in the boot sequence
and you might need to use an upstart config file to make it start after
other processes that it might depend on.
