If openvpn is in /usr/sbin then it sounds to me like /usr/sbin is not in $PATH after the sudo gainroot. If so, change that line
openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/openvpn.conf
to
./openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/openvpn.conf
(well, that's one way -- another is to fix the PATH. but the above should work everywhere.)
openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/openvpn.conf
to
./openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/openvpn.conf
(well, that's one way -- another is to fix the PATH. but the above should work everywhere.)

The script should work, but I don't know why you guys are using relative paths and changing directories in your shell scripts. Do it the clean way: use absolute paths. that would save a lot of posting. 
If it helps, here's my version of a shell script that works just great. And remember, a shell script just executes commands for you, so if you can execute the commands in a shell by hand, then you can do it in a script. Just don't get mixed up with relative paths:
VPN Script:
#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/op
openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/config.conf &
Notice the "&" to background the process. And you're probably asking what "/usr/bin/op" is. It's just another shell script:
#!/bin/sh
sudo gainroot
The only reason it is another shell script is because sometimes I want to become root and don't want to type more than two characters--especially when i have to use that blasted on screen stylus keyboard with my thumbs. "op" is easy to type and it's near the enter key..

sudo gainroot starts another shell process rather than raising
the privileges of the existing one.
A quick solution would be to make openvpn suid root as in
chmod 4755 /usr/sbin/openvpn
the privileges of the existing one.

Nope.
I think I'll just stick to doing it manually. I know that works.
Crap! I knew I shouldn't have read that thread on how dangerous root was. Looks like in all my chown-ing and chmod-ing something got screwed up. I rebooted and get stuck at the Nokia screen....

It does work if I run it manually.
Here's what it does.
