Have you tried sequencing the options properly, i.e.,

gimp -i -b batchjob.txt

instead of your suggestion? The point is that the -b option for batch
mode reads either from the command line, or stdin, or a file,
depending on what follows the -b

'('     command line
'-'     stdin
else    file

According to this, the '-' from your '-i' would cause it to assume
that the rest is to be taken from stdin...

Kind regards,
