Courtney,

Not sure about your earlier questions, I'm afraid, but I'd guess that
the people who would be able to help might need more information to be
able to track down the problem...  There is a verbose mode (-vv) which
lists absolutely everything GPG does, that might help.

GPG also has "assume yes" and "assume no" options.  If you take a look
at gpg --help (one of my favorites  :)  you'll see that the options
include:

     --batch                      batch mode: never ask
     --yes                        assume yes on most questions
     --no                         assume no on most questions

If that doesn't help, I can only suggest looking through the man pages
or asking here again, with a little more information about which
specific messages are being interactive.

HTH,
