 from ssh-add(1):
 
 ENVIRONMENT
      DISPLAY and SSH_ASKPASS
        If ssh-add needs a passphrase, it will read the passphrase from
        the current terminal if it was run from a terminal.  If ssh-add
        does not have a terminal associated with it but DISPLAY and
        SSH_ASKPASS are set, it will execute the program specified by
        SSH_ASKPASS and open an X11 window to read the passphrase.  This
        is particularly useful when calling ssh-add from a .xsession or
        related script.  (Note that on some machines it may be necessary
        to redirect the input from /dev/null to make this work.)
 
 did you define SSH_ASKPASS?
