Remember that IP routing works on a hop by hop paradigm. Look at how traffic comes from an OpenVPN client to a destination system (e.g. hosting Windows shares), and then replies from that system back again; your routing might be set up such that you can route traffic from your openvpn server to the destination host, but that host also has to know who to send traffic to (next hop) in order to get traffic back to your openvpn server for the client (and so does the hop after that, and the hop after that, etc.). In other words, does every hop between your destination server (inclusive) and the openvpn server know that 10.8.x.x gets directed towards the openvpn server?
