I fought with this as soon as it came out and engaged upstream -
v2.1.x requires the agent and pinentry, you'll need to work out a
change in your configuration to use "loopback" mode in pinentry. Based
on the forum thread and upstream bug report I worked out these
instructions for a general case:

If you figure out another case that is needed, please update the wiki
with your new find. :)
