I don't understand this last paragraph in the light of what you wrote ear=
ier=20
(it seems to contradict the sentence "I want to do this directly by pipin=
g=20
the passphrase into gpg standard in [from BachMail]."), but you might wan=
t to=20
try and make the script "exec" gpg:

#!/bin/sh
exec gpg -seo ...
