I am pretty sure that wiping is not in gnupg.  (correct me if I'm wrong)

I would reccomend that you look into wipe, available from
http://wipe.sourceforge.net/

and you could write a simple shell script to automate this task:

#!/bin/sh
gpg -a  -r SomeRecipient@somehost.com -o $1.asc --encrypt $1
wipe $1
mv $1.asc $1
