I have taken a look to see if that was the problem.  Turns out that the
interch home folder is /var/lib/interchange.  There is a .gnupg folder
created when I imported the key for my mail account.

Any other place that Interchange might be configured to try to runas root
or a place where a default home folder might be set?
