thanks for your debugging information! I will look at it again.

I did - and, true, it isn't there...strange - anyhow:
vi hdup.h.in
  add "--always-trust"
cvs ci -m"added --always-trust to GPG cmdline

Now it really must be in 1.6.35.

Btw: 1.6.35 will be released soon.
1.6.36 will have (hopefully) a fix for the GPG stuff, and
1.6.37 ... may contain a new 'find' algorithm

grtz,
