I had the same issue. Running Feisty, network-manager-gnome 0.6.4-6ubuntu7 and network-manager-openvpn 0.3.2snv2342-0ubuntu3. Appears that if my key is encrypted using a passphrase which contains spaces the connection fails

If I (don't tell mama and) decrypt the key as Philipp suggests connection works. It works also if I encrypt the key with a password which does NOT have any spaces. Looks like a pw containing spaces breaks something.
