Adding this line didn't work:
pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-tty
The message was invalid option
gpg: /home/foo/.gunpg/gpg.conf:242: invalid option
The CentOS6 and RHEL6 distributions don't provide a /usr/bin/pinentry-tty.
One of my goals of this is to be able to set a passphrase on a key in batch
processing. Perhaps, there is another way to accomplish that?
Thank you
Cathy

You could use a console-only pinentry, such as pinentry-curses or pinentry-tty.
Add the following line in your ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf:
pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-tty

You cannot avoid using GnuPG Agent with gpg 2. As stated in the man page, gpg 2
always requires the agent, and the use-agent option has no effect.
