I'm using a certificate and having a similar issue. I think the problem is that the private portion is password locked. If I run openvpn from the command line, it asks for my password twice (I'm assuming once for openssl-vulnkey). But with network manager running the show, I don't think it knows how to get the password to openssl-vulnkey.
