Which passphrase dialog comes up? The one from KMail? Or one of the 
pinentry-* programs?

Did you start gpg-agent before KMail? Have you made sure that KMail sees 
the environment variable that is created by running
  eval "$(gpg-agent --daemon)" ?

The symptoms you describe indicate that KMail doesn't see this 
environment variable.

BTW, please note that only the latest cvs version of pinentry-qt works. 
If you don't want to get the cvs version then you have to use 
pinentry-gtk for now.

Ingo
