gpg-agent hosed for one user....

[Ed Greshko]

This is F11 (Fedora 11), KDE.

Seems gpg-agent is hosed for one user.  I think it may have to do with
the cache for the private key pass phrase.

I get the following....

egreshko at meimei .gnupg]$ /usr/bin/gpg --charset utf8 --batch --no-tty
--status-fd 2 -t --clearsign -u \<Ed.Greshko at greshko.com\> --use-agent
[GNUPG:] USERID_HINT E099CA8D56C206FA Ed Greshko <Ed.Greshko at greshko.com>

[GNUPG:] BAD_PASSPHRASE E099CA8D56C206FA
gpg: skipped "<Ed.Greshko at greshko.com>": bad passphrase
gpg: [stdin]: clearsign failed: bad passphrase

The dialog to type in the passphrase pops up but goes away in an instant.

If I move the .gnupg directory to another user's area I have no problem. 

I get the feeling there is a corrupt file...or stuck file....from what I
can tell gpg-agent interfaces with pinentry but don't know what else to
do...

Any ideas?
