This was a problem in my test setup. I probably had gpg4win installed when the 
agent was started and so it tried to use the pinentry from gpg4win even after 
I uninstalled gpg4win.

Such things will be solved when gpg4win gets proper 2.1 support. After 
restarting the gpg-agent it picked up pinentry-basic and it worked fine.

If you look at gpg-agent's debug output it will show you which pinentry it 
tries to start.

Regards,
Andre
