While you are waiting for someone who knows what's going on to answer, I
think you should try to add --batch to the command line. Any
non-interactive use of the gpg binary always needs to have --batch. The
same pretty much goes for --with-colons, I don't know whether or how you
interpret output from gpg, but --with-colons gives you the
machine-readable form.

It's possible that it behaves a bit more pleasantly for this problem
with --batch, as it now understands that it's being used as such.

HTH,

Peter.
