GnuPG not allowing passphrase entry

[jhall at socket.net]

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I an attempting to decrypt a file using the following command line.

/usr/local/bin/gpg --output /usr/local/scripts/test. --no-default-keyring 
--secret-keyring 09-2010.sec --keyring 09-2010.pub --always-trust 
--decrypt --recipient Wed_Sep_1_00_01_00_CDT_2010 at abc.org 
/usr/local/scripts/test.gpg 

When doing so, I receive the following output.

You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for
user: "Wed_Sep_1_00_01_00_CDT_2010 (Monthly Archive Encryption Key) 
<Wed_Sep_1_00_01_00_CDT_2010 at abc.org>" 
1024-bit ELG key, ID E8E5F849, created 2010-09-01 (main key ID 557E7C04)

gpg: cancelled by user
gpg: encrypted with 1024-bit ELG key, ID E8E5F849, created 2010-09-01
      "Wed_Sep_1_00_01_00_CDT_2010 (Monthly Archive Encryption Key) 
<Wed_Sep_1_00_01_00_CDT_2010 at abc.org>" 
gpg: public key decryption failed: General error
gpg: decryption failed: No secret key

While the prompt to enter a passphrase does appear, it is skipped without 
allowing me to enter anything. 

gpg-agent is running.  I am running FreeBSD 8.0. My GnuPG version is 
2.0.14 

I have also tried adding the public and secret keys to the default keyring 
and receive the same result. 

Thanks for your help.
