PFSense OpenVPN push route problem

Can somebody please explain whats going wrong with my push route command. Setup is fairly simple. WAN = x.x.x.x LAN = 10.79.10.0/24 and I used 10.79.40.0/24 for the OpenVPN subnet. I then did a push route for the 10.79.10.0/24 subnet. The OpenVPN clients can connect and get an IP address in the .40 subnet but they cannot ping address in the local (.10) subnet.

Here is my server config

writepid /var/run/openvpn_server0.pid
#user nobody
#group nobody
daemon
keepalive 10 60
ping-timer-rem
persist-tun
persist-key
dev tun
proto udp
cipher AES-256-CBC
up /etc/rc.filter_configure
down /etc/rc.filter_configure
client-to-client
server 10.79.40.0 255.255.255.0
client-config-dir /var/etc/openvpn_csc
push "route 10.79.10.0 255.255.255.0"
lport 1194
ca /var/etc/openvpn_server0.ca
cert /var/etc/openvpn_server0.cert
key /var/etc/openvpn_server0.key
dh /var/etc/openvpn_server0.dh
comp-lzo

Any thoughts?

Shouldn't be a firewall issue. Since this is in a test environment, both the WAN and LAN interfaces are completely open. (any any any etc) Just to summarize:

WAN: X.X.X.X Currently its a private address in a test environment but I tested on a WAN address with same results. (ie, fear of NAT and routing issues with private addresses)
LAN: 10.79.10.0/24 Local network on LAN port.
OpenVPN subnet 10.79.40.0/24 The empty subnet used for OpenVPN clients connecting in.

What seems different with OpenVPN as compared to an IPSec or PPTP in PFSense is there is no interface associated with OpenVPN so I have no way of doing any firewall rules for the .40.0/24 OpenVPN subnet.

Here are several externally hosted screenshots that should really help out with troubleshooting:
