I recall reading sometime back on this list that on windows you need to put
the | directly after the passphrase. Windows apparently sends the trailing
space along to gnupg, which will make it a bad passphrase.  So try something
like this:

    echo %1| gpg --homedir %2 --batch --yes --passphrase-fd 0 \
        --always-trust --encrypt --sign --recipient %3 %4
