This is the output from my /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules file;

SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:16:e3:bc:6d:7c", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="wlan*", NAME="wlan0"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:a0:d1:68:00:d4", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0"

SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:16:e3:bc:6d:7c", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="ath*", NAME="ath0"
So,add a line/s for any interface that you want,just be careful with that,for example,you need NAME="venet0" or similar,it's in the output from ifconfig -a.

Before you had this;
Code:
tun0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 -00
          inet addr:10.23.213.1  P-t-P:10.23.213.2  Mask:255.255.255.255
          UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:500
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
but in the second output from ifconfig -a it isn't there and I've found this so it's maybe that you need to counfigure that interface.
About the output from ls command,well you need to read them and figure which one you need to configure.You can add manually new file if you like but it shouldn't conflict with other files.You can check this site too.

What is the exact problem,error/s?
EDIT: Well I went back to the beginning and in this;
Code:
ifconfig eth0 | grep inet | \
    sed -e 's/.*:\([0-9\.]*\)[0-9]\{1,3\} .*:\([0-9\.]*\) .*:\([0-9\.]*\).*/push "route \10 \3"/g' \
    >> /etc/openvpn/server.conf
shouldn't be eth0 based on ifconfig -a.So try to change that to tun0 and run the command again.

Read post 24,it was edited.Maybe it's best if you reinstall some packages like this(I based this on the guide that you've followed to install vpn)
Code:
# apt-get --reinstall install openvpn liblzol
then run
Code:
/etc/init.d/openvpn restart
If you've done something else during installation before,do it again then run the command in post 24 but change eth0 to tun0.

Then run
Code:
apt-get install liblzol
But I wonder if it was there,how come that it isn't now.
Also try to replace eth0 with venet0 in
Code:
ifconfig eth0 | grep inet | \
    sed -e 's/.*:\([0-9\.]*\)[0-9]\{1,3\} .*:\([0-9\.]*\) .*:\([0-9\.]*\).*/push "route \10 \3"/g' \
    >> /etc/openvpn/server.conf
