VPN not functional

Trying to make use of the VPN module, however the vpn daemon refuses to start. Completely removed the package (and any associated files) and re-installed and still receiving the same error.

The following error lines are being generated in syslog each time I try to /etc/init.d/psa-vpn start

Has anybody else seen this, and know how to fix it? Any advice or point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
