    I am using an old AIX server to do PGP encryption.  I have received the key and added it:

    Type bits      keyID      Date       User ID
    RSA  2048/2048 0xB1FDB5B9 2015/04/08 Feeds Gateway QA <FSTeam@searshc.com>

    When I try to use the key to do encryption through a script I get "Are you sure you want to use this public key (y/N)?Ok, skipping userid Feeds Gateway QA <FSTeam@searshc.com>
    Encryption error"

    Here is my command line:

    $HOME/.pgp/pgp -e +force +batchmode +compatible=on +verbose=2 "CLSINSSO.20100202.13020202.xml" "FSTeam"

    It looks like PGP is asking for approval to continue but I am running in batch, so I cannot reply "yes".  When I run interactively and I answer "yes" the process runs fine.  How do I stop PGP from asking this question?  I thought the +force command would force the answer "yes" to any questions.

    I have tried to sign the key and it always comes back with a Key signature error:
