Error on initial call under Darwin

Hi,

I'm running Mac OS X 10.3.5 (Darwin 7.5.0) and compiled with tiger, 
new-tiger and sha512. This worked like a charm.
However, if I invoke gpg as a user for the very first time these error 
messages would appear:

gpg: failed to create temporary file 
`/Users/<user>/.gnupg/.#lk0x5003f0.<machine>.<domain>.1882': Permission 
denied
gpg: keyblock resource `/Users/<user>/.gnupg/secring.gpg': Allgemeiner 
Fehler
gpg: failed to create temporary file 
`/Users/<user>/.gnupg/.#lk0x5003f0.<machine>.<domain>.1882': Permission 
denied
gpg: keyblock resource `/Users/<user>/.gnupg/pubring.gpg': Allgemeiner 
Fehler

"Allgemeiner Fehler" should be translated as "common error" which 
doesn't mean very much, does it?
This happend on two different machines with various users not having a 
~/.gnupg directory already.

Does anybody know what I possibly could have done wrong? I aim to 
provide binaries for Mac OS X users so I should be able to compile a 
version which does not provoke those errors.

I appreciate your help.


Servus
