Sometime you have to set one of the following.
# PIN entry program
pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-curses # no X
pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-qt
pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-kwallet
pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-gtk-2
to whatever suits you in ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf.
Hope that helps.
