The key must be passphraseless because when I'm prompted for the
passphrase I just hit Enter and the operation completes successfully.
Here are the prompts (I hit Enter 3 times):

GnuPG passphrase:
GnuPG passphrase for signing key:
GnuPG passphrase:

What do I need to do to prevent the prompts so I can automate the operation?

I'm not sure what you mean here.  Are you saying I must manually enter
a blank passphrase in order to decrypt?

Very nice, I didn't realize there are --include and --exclude like rsync.
