It works fine for me here. Is pgp_sym_encrypt listed in this output?

\dx+ pgcrypto

My guess is that the OP has installed the extension in one database
(maybe "postgres") and tries to use it in another. That's a really
easy mistake to make...

I've requested that this bug be closed. What was happening was that I
was adding pgcrypto to my database, but then deleting and adding the
database. Duh. My bad.
