Hmm:

C:\>gpg --homedir c:\keys\tmp --batch --yes --verbose --status-fd 2
    --no-default-keyring --keyring c:\keys\tmp\pubring.gpg
    --secret-keyring c:\keys\tmp\secring.gpg --import c:\keys\mykey.asc

gpg: keyblock resource `c:\keys\tmp\secring.gpg': file open error
gpg: keyblock resource `c:\keys\tmp\pubring.gpg': file open error
gpg: can't open `c:\keys\mykey.asc': No such file or directory
gpg: Total number processed: 0
[GNUPG:] IMPORT_RES 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

After creating c:\keys\tmp it works as expected.

C:\>gpg --version
gpg (GnuPG) 1.4.2

C:\>ver

Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195]

Please supply more information.
