Yes, of course! I didn't look at the builtins of my shell :)

Another question: Is it possible to say gpg it has to create a signature
with ".sig" as extension, not ".asc"? I know, I could do it with a
script, but this isn't such elegant as to say gpg to do it.
I know, ".sig" is for signatures in binary form, but I need ascii
armored signatures to share them via FTP and I think ".sig" sounds much
better as ".asc".

No, I don't have quotes in my filenames.

find -exec on my Linux box does weird things too. It signs no file at
all.
