When sending a transfer request to your credit institute you get a message 
saying that your bank acknowledges the reception of your request (normally 
something like "Auftrag entgegengenommen").
If you received such an ACK then OpenHBCI has done all it could do.
After that your bank takes over responsibility for this transfer.

Currently the HBCI protocol does not define any further acknowledgement (well, 
as far as I know it is planned for future versions of the HBCI protocol).

If the request is handled by your bank you should see this transaction a few 
days later in the normal transaction list. Currently this is the only way to 
be sure that your bank really transfered the money.

Since I transfer money using OpenHBCI on a regular basis I can asure you that 
it works.
