loop-aes/mount with gpg-agent

Hey,
this is not really an Arch related problem, but as this is the only forum I'm using, I'll try it here. The system I'm testing on is Debian etch. loop-aes and gpg-agent alone work fine, when I decrypt data with gpg, pinentry is called and gpg-agent stores the passphrase. I can encrypt/decrypt partitions with loop-aes using a keyfile etc. Now the problem: to decrypt encrypted partitions I want to use a keyfile which is encrypted with gpg. The fstab entry is like this:

/dev/hda10    /yyy    ext3    defaults,loop=/dev/loop4,encryption=AES128,gpgkey=/root/key.asc    0    0

When I now mount /yyy, the system asks for the passphrase, but not with pinentry. So gpg-agent doesn't store the passphrase. Any ideas?
