First, did you check that it works fine without OpenVPN (e.g. firewall 
open)? 
Second, what exactly are you doing/do you want to achieve?
VPN makes sense if you go thru a triangle (client -> network a -> network 
b, where b allows access only from a) or if you want to secure certain 
kinds of remote connections, but encapsulating an SSH link with a VPN 
tunnel makes not much sense in my eyes.
