Any ideas? Does everyone who runs duplicity incr as a cron job just store the passphrase on disk?

I'm running duplicity incr as a cron job, and don't want to store the encryption 
passphrase. I can set a bogus value for PASSPHRASE, but then duplicity spits out an error 
message which triggers a cron mail, flooding my mailbox and obscuring real errors. Is 
there a way to make duplicity not prompt for a passphrase, and instead fail with an error 
message if it runs into a situation that would require one? Failing that, can I somehow 
suppress the "GPG Failed" error message without tossing everything from stderr 
into /dev/null?
