I don't think this is the problem. I've had the PASSPHRASE in the
script since the beginning and it never prompts me for it during an
interactive run. I don't use GPG for anything else and am not running
an agent, so it has to get the passphrase either from the tty or the
environment.
Do most people generate their keys as root or as a regular user? I
generated mine as a regular user, then imported both the public and
private keys into root's keychain. Another problem, since resolved,
was making the key trusted so GPG would use it.
