gpg does only ask for a passphrase when there is a secret-key 
available.  If you have secret keys for receiver 2 and 3 you should
supply the correct passphrase for key 2 or key 3.

You should better use the status oputput than the exit code.

You better set these variables to empty (Or "C")

LANG=
LANGUAGE=
LC_ALL=
LC_MESSAGE=

You should parse the status output, the normal output is indended
for a human used an may change from version to version.  If there is
one status missing, tell me, what you need.
