  gpg can not read password from file

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: seahorse

  i want to encrypt a tar.gz archive with gpg:

  tar cz test-directory | gpg --passphrase-file password --symmetric
  --cipher-algo AES256 -o test.tar.gz.gpg

  
  this popup a password dialog but the password should be read from the file. if i use the same command on a server (without seahorse-agent), all works fine.
