When I run the command
gpg -vv --verbose --encrypt --default-key 0x... < /dev/null
GnuPG prompts me for a recipient. Without a TTY, such a prompt would
fail, of course. So presumably, instead of --default-key, you actually
want -r instead...?
Also: why are you using both -vv and --verbose at the same time?

See above. You probably also want --batch as well.
