If you want more information about the problem, you can (as root):

1) killall -TERM nm-openvpn-service
2) OPENVPN_DEBUG=1 /usr/libexec/nm-openvpn-service
   (or wherever it's at on your system, Debian doesn't use libexec)

and then try to connect.  It'll spew out a load of debugging information
which is necessary to figure out what's going wrong.
