Thanks for the info, that at least tells me kind of what type of issue
it thinks it is having.  One of the things throwing me for a loop is
that these errors are happening in my server log not my clients. 
Since the log doesn't indicate what session the error applies to I
don't know who or what exactly it thinks it has lost its connection
to.  Now, my firewall doesn't allow any outbound traffic from my
OpenVPN server (which is in my DMZ), but I wouldn't think that it
would need to since all of the connections originate from the clients.

Is there anything else that could cause this that I'm still not getting?
