Also, when I again execute The error message above looks very fishy indeed: it looks like it's attempting to read in that entire line, starting with GPG_AGENT_INFO and ending with the export command, as the /name/ of a file. Try to find out what is doing that (a miswritten config file somewhere?) You can use the fuser or lsof commands to find all the processes that have a given file open: that could come in handy; as could examining the /proc/<pid> directory of gpg-agent (run with --daemon), and examining what files it has open.
