I doubt that you need it; it currently works only with encfs and has not
been tested for a long time.  However, that is not your problem.

Argh, that damned catch-all error code.

I guess this comes directly from engine-gpg.c.  What I would do is to
replace gpg2 by a wrapper script to log the environment and args.

Something like this:
====
#!/bin/sh

echo ============ >>/tmp/gpg2.log
echo === BEGIN == >>/tmp/gpg2.log
echo ============ >>/tmp/gpg2.log
printenv >>/tmp/gpg2.log
echo "$@" >>/tmp/gpg2.log
exec /foo/bar/gpg2-real "$@"
=====
