Trying to perform encryption through script

Hi,

I have a small basic script encryption.sh as shown below. All I am trying to do is to encrypt a file which is passed through the script.
It works fine when I execute this script directly from command line via putty or telnet but it does not work when I call this script in an application(informatica) and run it from there. The script is running fine when executed via an application but it is not performing the encryption part.

Script: encryption.sh

Code:

#!/bin/ksh
FILEDIR="/test/INT/targetdata"
FILENAME="/test/INT/targetdata/test_20100129"
 
# Encryption Key
KEYNAME="test"
 
cd $FILEDIR
/opt/iexpress/gnupg/bin/gpg -e -r $KEYNAME $ FILENAME

This part works when I execute the encryption.sh script directly from command line but does not work when I run this script through an application(though it executes fine from application but does not perform the encryption process.)

This is what I get when I run it through command line it gives some warning but encrypts the file successfully. Unix admin says we can ignore the warning.

Code:

/test> encryption.sh
gpg: WARNING: using insecure memory!
gpg: please see http://www.gnupg.org/faq.html for more information

Please advice.

Thanks

Test::Script(3) 					User Contributed Perl Documentation					   Test::Script(3)

NAME

       Test::Script - Basic cross-platform tests for scripts

DESCRIPTION

       The intent of this module is to provide a series of basic tests for 80% of the testing you will need to do for scripts in the script (or
       bin as is also commonly used) paths of your Perl distribution.

       Further, it aims to provide this functionality with perfect platform-compatibility, and in a way that is as unobtrusive as possible.

       That is, if the program works on a platform, then Test::Script should always work on that platform as well. Anything less than 100% is
       considered unacceptable.

       In doing so, it is hoped that Test::Script can become a module that you can safely make a dependency of all your modules, without risking
       that your module won't on some platform because of the dependency.

       Where a clash exists between wanting more functionality and maintaining platform safety, this module will err on the side of platform
       safety.

FUNCTIONS

   script_compiles
	   script_compiles( 'script/foo.pl', 'Main script compiles' );

       The "script_compiles" test calls the script with "perl -c script.pl", and checks that it returns without error.

       The path it should be passed is a relative unix-format script name. This will be localised when running "perl -c" and if the test fails the
       local name used will be shown in the diagnostic output.

       Note also that the test will be run with the same perl interpreter that is running the test script (and not with the default system perl).
       This will also be shown in the diagnostic output on failure.

   script_runs
	   script_runs( 'script/foo.pl', 'Main script runs' );

       The "script_runs" test executes the script with "perl script.pl" and checks that it returns success.

       The path it should be passed is a relative unix-format script name. This will be localised when running "perl -c" and if the test fails the
       local name used will be shown in the diagnostic output.

       The test will be run with the same perl interpreter that is running the test script (and not with the default system perl). This will also
       be shown in the diagnostic output on failure.
