How did you create the file? If you simply created it as a plain text file, then it probably has a trailing NewLine as well. In which case, the NewLine is part of the password...

Checked this and recreated vi vim and just:

echo testing> cryptfile.

All results in the same invalid password

Of course, because you're still writing the trailing NewLine. Learn something about Unix files and commands... The behavior here is exactly the same as with the ldapsearch -y option. Use e.g. "echo -n" (depending on your shell / echo implementation)...
