    The problem seems to have been with stale gnupg lock files in the user's

Unfortunately, there's nothing clean pgpenvelope can do about this;  the
problem exists outside of pgpenvelope.  That is, pgpenvelope really can't
know about these lock files.  Really, GnuPG should be smart enough to
handle this on it's own; there are frequent complaints about this on the
gnupg-users list.
