I started writing this mail to say it was still broken but then had an
idea and now it is working.

I added logging to the final deny all rules on the rules and it was
that that was killing the traffic. After some experimenting I found I
had to add a new rule to allow the OpenVPN network to talk to the
world. I had the one that the instructions I followed said would work
but it didn't so I had to tweak it a little.
