Usually the ssh-agent shouldn't block access, as it should only be enabled for processes started from within GNOME.
Could you give a more detailed description of your setup? Location and name of SSH keys, relevant connection commands, whether or not X11 forwarding is enabled, ...

openpgp2ssh
OPENPGP2SSH(1) BSD General Commands Manual OPENPGP2SSH(1)
NAME
openpgp2ssh -- translate OpenPGP keys to SSH keys
SYNOPSIS
openpgp2ssh < mykey.gpg
gpg --export $KEYID | openpgp2ssh $KEYID
gpg --export-secret-key $KEYID | openpgp2ssh $KEYID
DESCRIPTION
openpgp2ssh takes an OpenPGP-formatted primary key and associated subkeys on standard input, and spits out the requested equivalent SSH-style
key on standard output.
If the data on standard input contains no subkeys, you can invoke openpgp2ssh without arguments. If the data on standard input contains mul-
tiple keys (e.g. a primary key and associated subkeys), you must specify a specific OpenPGP key identifier as the first argument to indicate
which key to export. The key ID is normally the 40 hex digit OpenPGP fingerprint of the key or subkey desired, but openpgp2ssh will accept
as few as the last 8 digits of the fingerprint as a key ID.
If the input contains an OpenPGP RSA public key, it will be converted to the OpenSSH-style single-line keystring, prefixed with the key type
(`ssh-rsa'). This format is suitable (with minor alterations) for insertion into known_hosts files and authorized_keys files.
If the input contains an OpenPGP RSA secret key, it will be converted to the equivalent PEM-encoded private key.
openpgp2ssh is part of the monkeysphere(7) framework for providing a PKI for SSH.
CAVEATS
The keys produced by this process are stripped of all identifying information, including certifications, self-signatures, etc. This is
intentional, since ssh attaches no inherent significance to these features.
openpgp2ssh will produce output for any requested RSA key. This means, among other things, that it will happily export revoked keys, unveri-
fiable keys, expired keys, etc. Make sure you do your own key validation before using this tool!
EXAMPLES
gpg --export-secret-key $KEYID | openpgp2ssh $KEYID | ssh-add -c /dev/stdin
This pushes the secret key into the active ssh-agent(1). Tools such as ssh(1) which know how to talk to the ssh-agent(1) can now rely on the
key.

BUGS
openpgp2ssh only works with RSA keys. DSA keys are the only other key type available in both OpenPGP and SSH, but they are currently unsup-
ported by this utility.
openpgp2ssh only accepts raw OpenPGP packets on standard input. It does not accept ASCII-armored input. openpgp2ssh Currently only exports
into formats used by the OpenSSH. It should support other key output formats, such as those used by lsh(1) and putty(1).
Secret key output is currently not passphrase-protected.
openpgp2ssh currently cannot handle passphrase-protected secret keys on input.
