SO I just realized that I actually didn't include the whole mailing list in my problem as I should have. James Cameron was very helpful in helping me troubleshoot. The problem with my system happened to be that the gpg binary that pass was attempting to use was GPG 1. I edited the pass bash script to point to gpg2 and everything started working.
Can a check be implemented to check to make sure that the gpg version pass uses is GPG2 and not GPG?
