Thanks for the feedback Adam!

My version of gpg says the this is a "dummy option". From man gpg:

--no-use-agent
              This is dummy option. gpg2 always requires the agent.

$gpg --version
gpg (GnuPG) 2.0.19
libgcrypt 1.5.0

Just for the record, on StackOverflow I received the following answer,
which prevents the agent dialog from appearing:

gpg --batch -c --passphrase secret readme.txt
