gpg: WARNING: unsafe ownership on homedir

[Ira.Kirschner at sungard.com]

I have researched this error message and have found the suggestions do not work. Does anyone know how to have this warning message stop?

I am getting the message:   gpg: WARNING: unsafe ownership on homedir `/home/wsc_gpg/.gnupg'

User wsc_gpg owns the gpg installation.
The process is running from root as:
sudo -u wsc_gpg cat /home/wsc_gpg/.gnupg/cache.txt | gpg --homedir /home/wsc_gpg/.gnupg --batch --yes --no-mdc-warning --skip-verify --passphrase-fd 0 --no-secmem-warning -o $OUTPUTFILE -d $ENCRYPTEDFILE

I am running on Red Hat Linux 6.4.6
