Is that your complete server config? You are not using --chroot, --user, 
--group or something else that could create a permission problem?

What version of OpenVPN are you using? Recent versions should show a log 
message if it accually reads a ccd file.

You can also try using strace on the running openvpn process, to monitor 
file openings to see what happends.
