I believe I am having the same problem on Hardy.  While following the same
dd-wrt tutorial, launching openvpn from the command line works, but
networkmanager pops up a dialog with the message "The VPN login failed
because the VPN program received an invalid configuration from the VPN
server."

The only additional information I could find was an error about not
obtaining an IP address from the server in my syslog (pasted below).
