I had a similar problem with the mutt email client since the upgrade 
from 2.0.x to 2.1.x where it couldn't see that gpg-agent was running. I 
fixed this by adding a new environment variable in my .bashrc startup:

export GPG_AGENT_INFO="$HOME/.gnupg/S.gpg-agent"

This may help as it looks like a similar issue.
