You didn't specify a directory for "--homedir", so it is using -a as the
directory.

This may work:
gpg --homedir some_directory -a --export keyid > some_filename

  From the gpg man page:

   --homedir directory
          Set the name of the home directory to directory If this option
          is not used it defaults to "~/.gnupg". It does not make sense
          to use this in a options file. This also overrides the
          environment variable "GNUPGHOME".
