There was a bug in the script, where passes containing a "$" would not properly be tested.

Ah, how could I not have thought of this :/, it's because in this language $ is used to indicate a variable (and if a variable $abcd doesn't exist it will just be empty). I made a fix to it, a $-containing pass will not print in the long list of passphrases it is going to try, but it will try it now.

Thanks for noting this!

Note how the strings are now using single quotes, not dual quotes, so you will have to re-do your settings I'm afraid.
