But that does not supply the passphrase that the agent needs to have for
decryption.  Duplicity should be triggering gpg to ask for a passphrase.

Try decrypting one of the backup manifest files (its short), like this:
 $ gpg --use-agent -d duplicity-manifest-file
gpg should prompt you for a passphrase.  If you do it a second time, it
should not.

I think this is related to the fact I need to use gpg2 and not gpg (1.4.5) to be able to use the agent !
No time to check this now though...
