Apart from the fact that sshpass is a very dangerous package for your security, and that you should prefer using public keys over using sshpass, this seems to be not exactly a sshpass problem.

As a temporary workaround, try this patch to sshpass: --- main.c.orig 2012-02-11 11:22:44.563278057 +0100 +++ main.c 2012-02-11 11:16:26.220409437 +0100 @@ -265,7 +265,8 @@ int runprogram( int argc, char *argv[] ) setsid(); // This line makes the ptty our controlling tty.
