The problem is if there is no /run/user directory.  I think systemd
creates these directories; on other systems

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
[ ! -d /run/user ] && mkdir /run/user
awk -F: </etc/passwd '$3 >= 1000 && $3 < 65000 {print $3}' \
  | ( while read uid rest; do
        if [ ! -d "/run/user/$uid" ]; then
          mkdir /run/user/$uid
          chown $uid /run/user/$uid
          chmod 700 /run/user/$uid
        fi
      done )
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

in /etc/rc.local might be helpful.  And of course you need to

  loginctl enable-linger USER

once for each desired user.  The socket directories are created by GnuPG
on-the-fly - but not the top directories to to insufficent permissions.
