In OpenPGP Preferences:

'Basic' - Please check that the path is correctly set to gpg and not to gpg2
(in Terminal "$ which gpg" should output the correct path to gpg -
typically it's  "/usr/local/bin/gpg"). No quotation marks.

'Advanced' - Please check that the option 'Use gpg-agent for
passphrases' is *not* enabled.

Please check that in your ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf file, the option use-agent
is *not* enabled.

For your information I am running MacGPG2 2.0.12, with gpg agent enabled
and running, MacOSX 10.5.7, Thunderbird version 2.0.0.22 (20090605),
Enigmail version 0.96.0 (20090717-0949), no problems.
