What is the full command line that you are issuing to gpg?
I've used:
gpg -a --batch --always-trust $homedir -r $keyid --encrypt $outputfile
(make sure $homedir and $keyid are preset and valid and that the value of=20
$keyid is the 8 character keyid, not a name nor an email address. Also make=
=20
sure that the key has been imported into the public keyring on that machine=
=20
in advance.)
(Only for situations where some other form of trusted authorisation is alre=
ady=20
in use because of the --always-trust option.)

Did you copy across the .gnupg/gpg.conf , secring.gpg and trustdb.gpg?

Did you use gpg --update-trustdb on the machine receiving the copied files?

Rollbacks can cause trouble if 0.4.0 updated the configuration files for it=
's=20
new functions and those changes were not rolled back with the rest of the=20
package. What was the problem with gpgme 0.4.0? It's likely that any proble=
ms=20
can be fixed by others on this list.
