Check its permissions.  If it's executable, PAN tries to execute it,
allowing you to use a fortune program to change your sig, among other
things.  If not, it should add it as text.  If it's on a FAT partition or
some such, where perms are partition-wide, you can simply use cat, as in
"cat /path/to/sigfile".  I had the problem for awhile with an old PAN
version that treated all sigs as executable, IIRC, and used cat to get
around the problem.  I only took it out recently.
