Yes, I just learned this one :-) --auth-user-pass REQUIRES --pull on the 
client side. The user/pass authentication uses the push/pull channel. You 
don't have to push any options though.

What OpenVPN version are you using on the client side? 2.0_rc8 (2.0_rc7 
too, but with a bug!) reports this option error clearly.
