For what you're trying to do I think the syntax would be:
C:\encrypt.bat would look like this:
"C:\pgp\pgp.exe -e %1 %2"
test.cfm
<cfset args = arrayNew(1)>
<cfset arrayAppend(args,'O:\temp\abc.txt')>
<cfset arrayAppend(args,'MYTESTKEY')>
<cfexecute name="C:\encrypt.bat" arguments="#args#" timeout="3" />
