Does it make messages that PGP 2.6 can read? I think that is the issue.
As I think I may have posted before, there is a patch somewhere on the
gpg-dev list archive to make this possible, but it isn't trivial due to
the fact that PGP 2.6 relies on tempfiles whereas GPG uses pipes, so GPG
can't put a signature at the head of a file very easily. PGP 2.6 doesn't
expect signatures at the end.
