Expect is very literal in what it expects...
A single space can ruin an entire script.

You might get lucky using wildcards, like so:

expect "*pass phrase:*"

Just be careful not to use too many, in case you match another line somewhere...

Also, make sure you are getting the case correct;
"Pass" does not equal "pass"
