I don't use gpg-agent in scratchbox.  Instead, I pass '-us -uc' to
dpkg-buildpackage to tell it not to sign the .dsc and .changes file.
For builds that I want to actually publish, I copy the .dsc and
.changes files over to the computer with my gpg key and use debsign to
generate the signatures.

HTH,

Neal
