Thanks for confirming this Mark. It's what I had suspected from the strace 
output [1]. gpg is certainly looking at entires in /dev/bus/usb 
when it runs, and doesn't seem to reference /proc at all. Having changed the 
permissions on the relevant device node, it hasn't changed the situation.

Thanks,

Tony
