ok got it sorted. i'm an idiot. thanks everyone. turns out i was editing the config file in gedit and not saving the changes. seems as though the "tun0" change fixed it.
i proved that by running

[root@cjohnson openvpn]# openvpn --rmtun --dev tap0
Sun Jan 17 22:00:18 2010 TUN/TAP device tap0 opened
Sun Jan 17 22:00:18 2010 Persist state set to: OFF

before testing it again. i'm going to drop back to the user account and try again in a minute.

[root@cjohnson openvpn]# more roadwarrior.conf

dev tun0

well.. shit. okay, not giving up yet.

wondering if ovpn is suid.

ls -l `which openvpn`

p.s. can you add:
verb 5
log-append /tmp/openvpn.log

to the client conf, and then paste the log file after it runs here? i
have a sneaking suspicion that it's quite possibly another issue that's
not entirely related to permissions at all, despite the error message.

OH! and yum info openvpn would be a HUGE help, too

i'll maybe load up a fedora 12 VM tonight and see if i can replicate the
issue and maybe develop a fix/solution for it.
