As you are going to run gpg from a cron job, ie without any associated
tty, have you checked `man gpg`? Especially the options '--batch' and
'--no-tty'?

You're running gpg as a batch job and from cron, ie no tty available.
GPG can in some occasions still print warnings to the tty even though
--batch is used as on option.
