The --preserve-permissions is a gpg option and not one of gpg-agent.  In
fact gpg does not known anything about private-keys-v1.d.  And well, the
gpg option does nothing because gpg has no control over secret keys.

I will update the documentation to clarify that this is a dummy option.

Is there a special reason that you need to give group access to those
files?
