You need to determine which user account and system that you are running
the script from and which account and system that gpg is running under.
 It is mostly likely gpg is running under the wrong user or system.
Determine where the secret key that you are using is located (i.e. which
directory holds the GnuPG home directory). And If you can edit the
script, make it print out the value of the GNUPGHOME environment
variable and compare that against what the correct home directory is
supposed to be.

Hope that helps.
