If the secring.gpg containing your secret key lies in /home/superagt/.gnupg 
then you should use --homedir /home/superagt/.gnupg, but I suspect this is not 
the correct path to your secret key, right?

Where lies the secret key you are trying to use? Is the script executed by the 
same user who has access to the secret key?
