Inhibit pgp-agent warning?

Hi everyone, I have a backup script which uses gpg to encrypt the backup, and is executed every night by cron (both by root as by an admin user). This is gpg 1.4.6 on Ubuntu Hardy LTS. My problem is that gpg insists on printing a "gpg: gpg-agent is not available in this session" warning every tim
