Flashed LeeDroid 2.2f rom with binaries installed. I'm now connecting 
flawlessly.

shouldn't you install busybox properly first?

cp is definitely part of busybox and not openvpn - install busybox first.

install busybox first.
#cd /system/bin
#ln -s busybox cp
then install openvpn

I tried the advice in comment 9, and got "Link failed Read-only file system."
What can I do now?
