Ok, then check your gpg-agent.conf file. You need to restart the gpg-agent if 
you add or change the gpg-agent.conf file.

%cat ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf
pinentry-program /usr/local/bin/pinentry-qt
no-grab
default-cache-ttl 1800


If that doesn't work,  you can give the gtk window a try. change the line 
pinentry-program /usr/local/bin/pinentry-qt 
in your gpg-agent.conf to 
pinentry-program /usr/local/bin/pinentry-gtk
