Have you tried this?
The problem is gnupg wants to write trustdb.gpg.
I've configured the automounter
to use my key's from floppy-disc, but it doesn't work,
if I make the disk write-protected. 

gpg --list-keys
gpg: fatal: /misc/floppy/.gnupg: can't create directory: Permission
denied
secmem usage: 0/0 bytes in 0/0 blocks of pool 0/16384

# killall -USR1 automount

Write enabled:
waldemar@hawkeye:~$ gpg --list-keys
/misc/floppy/.gnupg/pubring.gpg
