The script is not entirely correct. You need to put those lines this way:

#!/bin/sh
<past here>
/usr/kde/3.1/bin/startkde

Then you can start kde this way. To test out you can also run
eval `gpg-agent --daemon`
And kmail or gnupg afterwards. Look at kmail.kde.org for the manual to set 
everything up. Basically you must make a gpg-agent.conf file in your home dir 
to make it work. The contents should be:

pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-qt
no-grab
default-cache-ttl 10800

Also there must be a line containing "use-agent" in your gpg.conf file. Then 
it should work. If it doesn't, mail the error messages you get.
