The source command takes a file name, not a shell command.

Perhaps the output of the gpg command would be the filename
you want to source, perhaps you want to use back quotes (`)
rather than double quotes (").  Back quotes are used to
execute a shell command and replace the command line with
the command output.

If you do mean to run the gpg command, replacing the command
with the output, I question the pipe symbol at the end of the
command.  What is gpg piping to?
