You could try

--passphrase-file o:\apricing\pass.txt

after removing --passphrase-fd

This is *very* sensitive to line endings. I had to run dos2unix on the
passphrase file before the command would work. DIR or 'ls -l' on the passphrase
file should show a length one greater than the character count in the passphrase
(just <LF>). Windows will create the file with <CR><LF> and the <CR> will muck
things up.

You may also wish to include --batch on the command line.
