I tried symmetrically encrypting a file. Here's the output:

$ gpg -c 01\ -\ Vangelis\ -\ Chariots\ of\ fire\ -\ Titles.mp3
gpg: problem with the agent: Timeout
gpg: error creating passphrase: Operation cancelled
gpg: symmetric encryption of '01 - Vangelis - Chariots of fire -
Titles.mp3' failed: Operation cancelled

Would it be an issue with gpg-agent?
