No ideas there.

don't do that. use: set pgp_v5="/usr/bin/pgp"
I know, I know, /usr/bin/pgp doesn't exist. Don't worry. It should
never run /usr/bin/pgp. It will only run pgpe, pgps, pgpv, and pgpk
(actually, not pgpk). If you tell it pgp5, it will look for pgp5e,
pgp5s, etc. and they do not exist.

you correctly determined that it's looking for /usr/bin/pgp, but I
suspect that it is looking for version 2. Try adding this to your
.muttrc:
set pgp_default_version="pgp5"
(and remove your symlink)

This confirms my guess. If it thought it were running pgp5, it
wouldn't be trying to run pgp without and "e", "s", "v", or "k" on the
end.

Loads of output is good!!! This is the kind of message we LIKE here.
