3 xterm -fg green -bg black -e 'gpg Personal/data.ods.gpg;echo $?' tell you? I'm thinking that gpg fails, so oocalc never launches (because you conditioned its execution with '&&', and the script continues to shred the file.

5 My amd64 succeeds executing this (s/gpg/echo-to-tmpfile/). I would initially assume it's the usage causing the issue, rather than some arch-dependent thing.
