Edit key in batch mode

[أحمد المحمودي]

Hello,

I have gnupg 1.4 installed on my system. I am trying to edit my key in batch mode using the following command:

gpg --edit-key <keyid> --command-fd 0 --status-fd=2  < scr

the contents of 'scr' file is:
=====
adduid
أحمد المحمودي
aelmahmoudy at users.sourceforge.net
Ahmed El-Mahmoudy
=====

so I get the following error:

Invalid command  (try "help")

Can someone help ?
