In addition to the note about the missing argument to passphrase-file, it might 
also be that you are running into:

https://wiki.gnupg.org/TroubleShooting#Windows_.
3E_8_and_Server_2012_Task_Scheduler_Problems

Using the task scheduler GNUPG has a different Home Directory, so you might 
want to parse the --homedir parameter to specify directly which home directory 
(the directory with the keys etc.) should be used.

Best Regards,
Andre Heinecke
