Hmmm. The post here:

http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-users/2005-October/027259.html

Describes a case where I/O redirection was used, and yet problems occured
anyway. Of course they might be different problems. I do not understand
the error messages posted well enough to evaluate that possibility.
