You haven't given enough information for anyone to help you...It would
be good if you told us:

1) what hardware you are trying to talk to

2) check the dmesg to see if that hardware was attached, if it is a usb
device has it been picked up by a driver or is it a ugen device?

3) try a ktruss on the gpg command and see what it is trying to do, is
there an device open that is failing?  Perhaps gpg needs to be told a
device path?

I haven't done any smartcard stuff so I can't help with specifics but
checking the above may give you some clues as to where the problem is or
help someone with more relevant experience help you.
