However, if I schedule the job in Trinary (kicks off the job by itself) it will not decrypt the file.  It comes up with the following:

It's not a question of the passphrase; rather, the key isn't there.
If it works from the command line but not from the scheduled job, then
I'd check for differences in the environment.  Possibly you have two
different GPG home directories when run in your two different ways.
Check for different GNUPGHOME variables as well as different home
directories for your different run methods.
