I had a similar problem. I discovered an option to gnupg which showed
me an error in my trustdb. Try "gpg --check-trustdb", perhaps your
trustdb is broken. I solved the problem with deleting my trustdb and
making a new one. This was ok to me, because I have only about three
keys I trust (at the moment). Perhaps exporting, deleting and
re-importing the trustdb could help, but I don't know. There seems to
be another (in the manpage) undocumented option "--fix-trustdb" but I
don't know its purpose.

Hope this helps
