well after looking at remote restore for the entire afternoon I can
say: remote restore definitely does NOT work as intended. I'm thinking
about added some documentation about this fact as I'm still completely
in the dark on why it breaks(*)..

If nobody has bright ideas on how to debug/solve this I will release
1.6.34 in a few days with some minor bugfixes and mark remote
restoring with gpg as NOT WORKING :(

(*) for those interested: hdup sends a little header first to
"announce" what it is sending to the other/remote hdup. With mcrypt 
this works like a charm, with gpg this header gets corrupted.... :(
