This message suggests that there is a problem in the filesystem, not a
problem with a missing passphrase. Do you have a copy of the file in
question? do you know what the symmetric passphrase is supposed to be?
Ah, I missed that. Indeed, as others also have suggested and
argued, that message suggests that gpg cannot even open the file.
oo--JS.
if so, can you try to decrypt it and provide a paste of the full
terminal transcript (see [0] for suggestions on how to do a reasonable
terminal transcript) of you doing the following commands?
ls -l rwu.dbdump_Nov2012.sql.gz.gpg
gpg --decrypt rwu.dbdump_Nov2012.sql.gz.gpg
you'd need to run these commands from the directory where the file is
located.
is it possible that the file just needs to be made readable, or needs a
change of ownership?
hope this helps,
