It looks correct, if you know for sure 10.50.2.196 is the gateway address 
for all clients. If you are using tun interfaces, the gateway address is 
diffrent for each client, so it better to leave out the gateway parameter 
and OpenVPN will set it by it self. If you're using tap interfaces and 
briding, it would be perfectly legal to push a route like that though.

What error msg do you get in the log on the client?

There was some bugs in OpenVPN versions prior to 2.0-rc9 that could cause 
route additions to fail when using PPP or PPPoE adapters.
