you mean that you enter the passphrase in the gpg-agent dialog everytime it
pops up when it's needed, right?

that's probably gpg-agent asking for your passphrase, weird though that it does
not get through to your terminal.

that's because you can't. gpg does simply not allow you to encrypt
symmetrically against an empty passphrase. it has to be at least one character
long technically.
why exactly do you use gpg-agent with symmetric encryption. that only leads to
gpg-agent asking the password every time instead of gpg/duplicity. there is no
safety gain there.
what is your duplicity version?
