I seem to think that batch sftp wants authentication to have already been done and doesn't expect to see passwords in scripts.
Its probably possible to get round this by not letting sftp know that there isn't someone actually typing stuff in. There are several possible methods - have a look at screen, tcl/expect or even kermit which all should allow you to fake an interactive session with sftp or indeed any command line program which is awkward about accepting input from a redirected file.
