Problems with gpg-agent

Ok I use to have no problems with using openpgp and kmail, I had my system 
setup as describe on the kmail howto.

However recently after upgrading to kde3.2, gpg-agent no longer works.  I get 
a very quick flash of what I believe is the password entry window that use to 
come up. 

Any help would be great.

Here is the output of my test with debug on:

echo "test" | gpg -ase -r 20492C6C |gpg
