Strange, but it is a problem of the keyserver and not GnuPG.  I
can't see a reason why it should depend on whether you put
--keyserver in the options file or on the commandline.

Afaik, the *.keyserver.net stuff is not very reliable and I recently
heard about a lot of problems.

I am currently using horowitz.surfnet.nl
