Try to run strace on the process like:

strace -e open -p PID

where PID is the process id of the running openvpn daemon. You should then 
see a line like this when you connect:

open("/etc/openvpn/clients-config/Mathias.Sundman", O_RDONLY) = 7

If you don't get any such line then OpenVPN is not trying to open the file 
at all, and then you need to go back to your config file and start 
changing things until it starts trying to open the file!

If you do get such a line, then you should be able to tell that it is 
either looking in the wrong place, or that it fails for some other reason 
by the code at the end of the line.
