The route for the subnet is pushed by the server (expanded from the -- 
server config option).  Although adding the route fails, the  
connection process continues and the connection is working fine.   
Making either the client ignore the pushed route or the server not  
push the route would be rather intrusive, so I think leaving it at  
this should be acceptable.

Will continue testing...
