I have researched this error message and have found the suggestions do not 
work. Does anyone know how to have this warning message stop?

I am getting the message:   gpg: WARNING: unsafe ownership on homedir 
`/home/wsc_gpg/.gnupg'

User wsc_gpg owns the gpg installation.
The process is running from root as:
sudo -u wsc_gpg cat /home/wsc_gpg/.gnupg/cache.txt | gpg --homedir 
/home/wsc_gpg/.gnupg --batch --yes --no-mdc-warning --skip-verify 
--passphrase-fd 0 --no-secmem-warning -o $OUTPUTFILE -d $ENCRYPTEDFILE

I am running on Red Hat Linux 6.4.6
