Ahah - thanks.  It has been a while since I've done a maven release (3
months?) and I used password-based authentication at the time.

Ah, OK.  I was reading this:

http://maven.apache.org/developers/release/apache-release.html

and noticed the 'gpg.passphrase' property (first preformatted block in
that page).  I set it to what I think is my passphrase and it is not
working - it keeps asking me to type in my password :/

But, I added my key to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys and all appears to be
working now - thanks for the help!

Gotcha, thanks.
