Fwd: using gnupg with a secure ldap (ldaps) keyserver

I've played around with this some more, and after editing ldap.conf to include
the line:
TLS_REQCERT allow

I can now run:
ldapsearch -h ldap.2wire.com -P3 -x -b "dc=company,dc=com"
objectClass=pgpkeyinfo -Z

successfully, and it returns the pgp keys.

Is there another step I have to take to get gpg 1.3.x to recognize the keys
now?

Thanks,
-Joe
