Great. Thanks for that. Do you always create that loop back file or  
only if on non-btrfs-filesystems?

Do you have a solution for the trustdb-stuff already? I only found  
this in the manual for gnupg2:

--trustdb-name file
   Use file instead of the default trustdb. If file begins with a  
tilde and a slash, these are replaced by the $HOME directory. If the  
filename does not contain
   a slash, it is assumed to be in the GnuPG home directory  
(‘~/.gnupg’ if --homedir or $GNUPGHOME is not used).

Maybe you should just create your own trustdb-file and ship it as well  
or create it on the first run of machined. There was no other obvious  
option for that I found. But I'm not really a gpg-pro. Maybe some  
other guy has a better idea about solving this thing.

BTW:
Even RHEL 6.6 ships with gpg2 already. Do you really need to support gpg1? :-)

Be aware:
I think I send one of my mails in this thread directly to you (by  
accident) and forgot to add the mailinglist. Fixed that with this mail.
