FWIW: to my knowledge the OpenPGP plugins you mention are using GPGME,
which is my understanding would not need a gpg command line to be configure.

If gpgme ist used, there are two ways to debug that I'd personally would try 
next:
 a) check if gpg works fine on files on the command line.
    (This excludes that something is wrong with your crypto setup.)
 b) enable gpgme logging.
