Looks to me like your problem is right there.  However to pin it down
further I would need to see your configuration files ("/etc/ppp/options",
"/etc/ppp/chap-secrets", and pptpd.conf).  Someone else might be able to
help without these files.  I realize the chap-secrets file may not be
something you want to provide, but you are welcome to obscure any entries
with "X".
