hey Ian,
right. duplicity does not let handle gpg binary the passphrase requesting but
instead does so early based on the action you chose. see
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~duplicity-team/duplicity/0.8-series/view/head:/bin/duplicity#L98
when you are doing an incremental, there is a chance that decryption is needed
(updating the archive dir cache, resuming ...) so it will ask for the
passphrase.
