I have never used pgp. I use gpg instead and I'll bet that most people here do as well. Since pgp is a product maybe you can get support from the manufacturer.
But just a few guesses based on how gpg behaves... I cannot believe that root is required. That would be a very bad design decision. I can create a key with gpg and see it immediately with the --list-keys option. The key is created in files that reside in .gnupg. I need to be able to write to those files. pgp, while it probably uses different names, probably also stores stuff in files and thus needs to write to those files. So I guess I would check that.

--cipher-algo option to gpg.
--sign
-s Make a signature. See gpg.
--recipient user
-r user
Encrypt for user id user. See gpg.
--local-user user
-u user
Use user as the key to sign with. See gpg.
--list-archive
List the contents of the specified archive.
--output file
-o file
Write output to specified file file.
--gpg gpgcmd
