I had a problem like that in the past, too.  

You might find the following thread helpful:
http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gpa-dev/2003-February/001178.html
It explains how to gather more information on what's going on. 

In my case the reason has been a segfaulting pinentry-qt
(pinetry is used to read the passphrase). 
Currently I'm using pinentry-gtk instead.
