Same problem here: After new install of 13.10 I get
VPN connection 'Uni Jena' failed to connect: 'property 'CA-File' file path ...' is not absolute or does not exist'
(of course, the file does exist and it is world readble)
:-(

VPN settings not working
After updating from 13.10 Beta 2 to 13.10, VPN is broken. I haven't made any configuration changes. Running tail -f /var/log/syslog | tee vpntest.txt and then trying to connect to the vpn gives me:

The CA-File file path IS absolute and DOES exist, so I have no idea why it's bickering about it. Should I put the certificate in my root certificates folder? What broke this?
