Still broken VPN (openvpn)

["Mario Limonciello" <mario mailing gmail com>]

I've been struggling with openvpn and NM for some time now.  I previously wrote to the list with troubles that I thought were related to using cacert.org.  I have now became my own CA and created my own certs to use.  

I'm able to make the connection without using NM, but with NM-openvpn it seems to die with an error.  Could someone describe how to put NM-openvpn into debug mode to find out a little more about whats going wrong here?

It appears I actually get authenticated, get my IP and all that fun news, it must be failing at some command that it is receiving related to routing is my best guess, but until I know how to debug it - I won't really know.  

I'm using the linux2go packages posted on Ubuntu dapper forums & Ubuntu launchpad (their version of bugzilla).

Thanks!
